About Me

I graduated in 1981 with a BA degree in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1985. I am licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.

I have experience working with patients dealing with a broad spectrum of mental illnesses, including thought disorders. I have enjoyed doing crisis intervention, family system work, and critical incident debriefing during community disasters.

I joined Kaiser Permanente Medical Group of Southern California in 1995 and transferred to the Sacramento area Kaiser in 2005. I currently serve as a clinical social worker in the Depression Pathway.

Depression pathway is a coordinated, multi-disciplinary depression treatment program emphasizing group therapy that is based primarily on the cognitive behavioral therapy model. The program includes group therapy, medication management, brief individual therapy and education for the early identification and treatment of unipolar depression. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach with depressed and anxious individuals and also offer psycho educational groups. In addition, I co-lead DBT groups for borderline personality disordered patients.

I enjoy nature, love to travel, swim, laugh with family and friends, and walk my dog.

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.
