Specialities
Bio
I am board-certified in general, addiction, and forensic psychiatry. I currently serve as the Mental Health & Addiction Service Line Chief. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Minnesota Medical School, I was the Medical Director of the Inpatient Program in the Division of Alcohol, Drugs, and Addiction at McLean Hospital and a faculty at Harvard Medical School.
My clinical and scholarly interests include optimizing alcohol and drug withdrawal management, addressing co-occurring psychiatric illness in individuals with substance use disorder, psychiatric ethics and nosology, and forensic psychiatry. I provide forensic consultation and expert witness services for civil and criminal cases and am passionate about teaching fellows, residents, and medical students.
