Welcome to My Home Page!
I was licensed as a Clinical Psychologist in 1998. I completed several years of internships, primarily in Child/Family work, in the course of obtaining my doctorate. I worked for Alameda County for the first two years subsequent to licensure, and came to Kaiser Permanente in 2000. I have a natural curiosity about people and their lives, dating back to my own adolescence. Pursuing a career in psychology was a way of combining something that interests me with a career I can take pride in. I appreciate being allowed into people's lives, to collaborate with them in trying to find creative and supportive ways to address a problem. Kaiser Permanente takes a team approach, where I can seek consultation if needed, easily refer to other providers as needed, and work in a supportive atmosphere with other clinicians and staff, who share my goals and professional interests. My philosophy is to be in collaboration with a family - to work together to find creative ways to deal with a given problem. I hope to combine my professional strengths and knowledge, with the knowledge my patients bring of themselves or their children, in hopes of coming to new ideas to alleviate at problem.
I received a B.A. in English from UCLA in 1989. I received an M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from CSPP, in 1996. My internships in the course of my doctorate training were primarily child/family focused, including pre-doctoral internships at California Pacific Medical Center and Sunset Community Mental Health. I did my post-doctoral fellowship at a community based program, Xanthos, that specialized in family therapy. The first two years of being licensed, I worked as a Psychologist and unit coordinator at an inpatient county psychiatric hospital. This was a detour from my work with children and adolescents, but gave me invaluable experience working in a hospital setting and with people with acute mental illness. I am currently licensed as a Clinical Psychologist in California, PSY 15504. Coming to Kaiser in 2000 was an opportunity to focus where I am most interested: children, adolescents, and families in an environment that affords a team and multi-disciplinary approach.

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.
