It is with pleasure that I welcome you to my home page. I am part of the Department of Psychiatry at Kaiser Permanente Redwood City, California. Departmental phone numbers along with office hours are listed above, along with other useful links on the left-hand side of my page.
My interest in Psychiatry developed as an undergraduate at UCLA. There I majored in Philosophy and Science. I was interested in the combination of medicine and the human emotions, and found Psychiatry to be a good match for me. After my Residency, I did a Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, as I believe that children are our most precious resource, and I love working with children.
I joined The Permanente Medical Staff in November of 1998, after two decades of Psychiatric practice on the Peninsula. It has been my pleasure to join a wonderful team of mental health professionals.
Currently, I am Chief of the Child, Adolescent and Family Team, in the Department of Psychiatry, at Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City. My functions include direct Patient care, administrative work, and I also manage a “Clinica,” for Spanish speaking patients.
The Child and Family Team provide evaulations, individual and group therapy, and medications as needed. As a Psychiatrist, I carefully evaluate the benefits and potential risks of indicated medications, before I prescribe.
I speak fluent French and Spanish, and live with my family on the Peninsula. I enjoy outdoor activities, traveling, mountain biking, and collecting vintage California art.
Providing quality care with a great team, I look forward to helping our patients and their families with their mental health needs!

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.
