Not drinking is hard,
drinking less is easier.

My mission is to help adults in Texas regain control over their relationship with alcohol through the use of oral naltrexone, following approaches such as the Sinclair Method, “naltrexone as needed,” or targeted naltrexone. 
Each patient determines their own goals—whether that’s reduced drinking, increased control, or complete abstinence. My work is inspired by personal experience and grounded in the belief that addiction often stems from underlying trauma and genetic predisposition. With over 30 years as a board-certified family physician, and additional board certifications in preventive and addiction medicine, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care that respects each individual’s journey toward healthier choices.
