Psychiatrist by training, with a specialization in addiction psychiatry. I'm interested in clinical use of ketamine for mental health indications, including depression and addiction, as well as the growing development of psychedelics as therapeutics. I offer psychiatry services encompassing clinical psychiatry, consultations, research study design and implementation, expert witness testimony, and more. Clinical services in psychiatry and addiction are available via my private practice in Marina Del Rey (Los Angeles, CA) where I utilize ketamine for mental health indications and augmentation of psychotherapy, harm reduction in regards to psychedelic use, as well as more typical medication management.Clinical and research interests include:-novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment of mental illness-treatment resistant depression and interplay of the glutamatergic system and mood-pharmacologically augmented psychotherapy, with a particular interest in depression and PTSD -therapeutic uses of the classical hallucinogens, and their interplay with addiction -emerging substances of abuse-impacts of the expanding use of cannabis, most recently stemming from state policy changes
Listed skills include Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Clinical Research, Psychopharmacology, and 10 others.
