I have over 25 years of experience in the clinical treatment of addictive disorders, research in this field and in the education of residents, medical students, post-doctoral fellows and other mental health trainees. I am also a grant funded investigator (funding sources over the years have included NIH, VA, Department of Defense, NARSAD and the Stanley Foundation) whose research interests include developing and testing potentially effective treatments for individuals with alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder and in those with comorbid psychiatric disorders, particularly PTSD. I grew up in Pittsburgh but have been in New Haven area since residency in psychiatry at Yale-where I met my husband (also a Professor of Psychiatry).
I am mother of 2 adult children, both of whom graduated from Yale College (Ezra Stiles and Silliman). One is a lawyer in NYC and the other is completing her Masters of Social Work at University of Michigan
I am of Greek background, love to travel (particularly to Greece).
