My Specialty and Why I Chose It

I am here to help ensure quality medical care and comprehensive preventative health services.
My Qualifications
| Ph.D. | Professional School of Psychology |
| M.S. | University of San Francisco |
My Practice Philosophy
Behavior Medicine is the integration of behavioral and medical science in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of medical conditions. Daily behavior affects your health more than anything else does. Years of research and clinical practice have shown that behavioral changes can help people to function better physically and emotionally. My work is dedicated to the behavioral changes that can help you improve your health, prevent illness, and reduce the symptoms of medical conditions. These same strategies can increase self care skills, improve effectiveness of medical interventions, and increase your ability to cope with chronic conditions.
My Tenure with Kaiser Permanente
I've been part of Kaiser Permanente's Primary Care Team since 1997. I appreciate Kaiser Permanente’s broad approach to patient care and preventative health focus.
I have enjoyed the interaction with primary care physicians, nurses, and support staff. I have found most members of the team to be hard working, dedicated, and truly interested in patient care.
I enjoyed a long association with UC Davis Medical School and hope to return to teaching there in the future.
On a Personal Note. . .
My interests include mind-body awareness, physical fitness, women's health, and chronic condition management. I practice what I preach, and combine good self care with an active and balanced work, family, and recreational life. Ask me how I do it. . .together we can develop a plan that works for you!
