Welcome to My Home Page!
Occupational therapy is a health profession whose goal is to help people achieve independence, meaning and satisfaction in all aspects of their lives.
Occupational therapists:
- Apply their specific knowledge to enable people to engage in activities of daily living that have personal meaning and value.
- Develop, improve, sustain, or restore independence to any person who has an injury, illness, disability or psychological dysfunction.
- Consult with the person and the family or caregivers and, through evaluation and treatment, promote the client's capacity to participate in satisfying daily activities.
- Address by intervention the person's capacity to perform, the activity being performed, or the environment in which it is performed.
The occupational therapist's goal is to provide the client with skills for the job of living - those necessary to function in the community or in the client's chosen environment.
About Me:
I have been an Occupational therapist since 1992. I specialize in Neurological Rehabilitation treating people who have had strokes, brain and spinal cord injuries, and other neurological deficits such as Parkinson’s and MS . I have advanced training in assessing and treating upper extremity motor, visual and cognitive deficits as well as having background in adaptive equipment and wheelchair/seating. Prior to joining Kaiser Permanente, I have worked in acute, inpatient, outpatient and home/community settings at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, UCSF Medical Center, Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and Rehab without Walls.
I am looking forward to working with you and I am committed to providing you with excellent service. Please contact me at 925-906-2263 if you have any questions, clarifications or concerns and I will attempt to address them in a timely manner.

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.
