Our focus is on the Neuroscience of addiction, giving you answers to the questions that cause us so much guilt and shame.

I love working with people with Substance Use Disorders. I love answering all the questions that science has provided us answers to. I love seeing the relief on the faces of my patients when they hear the truth for the first time in their lives, and realize how doable recovery really is.
