My Biography
An interest in storytelling, and in hearing the stories of people's lives, drew me to the Psychiatry department at Kaiser Permanente. All too often, it seems people feel beaten down in life, by abuse or neglect, or by circumstances that fail to match the promise of ideals common in our society. I enjoy working with people to better understand the forces shaping their lives. My goal is to help them find their own voices, use their passions, their creativity, their wisdom, their determination, and their resilience to reshape the stories of their lives with a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and balance. I try to guide people towards acceptance of life in all its complexities.
As Assistant Chief of Psychiatry, my practice is primarily a medication management practice, and I appreciate the advances in medical technology that allow us to treat psychiatric disorders more effectively than ever before. However, it is still the stories that draw me in. I have special interests in working with HIV, sexuality, spirituality, and cross-cultural issues in Psychiatry.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
