Welcome to My Internet Home Page

Welcome to my home page. Thank you for taking the time to give me the opportunity to introduce myself. I hope that you find the information helpful.

About Me

I graduated from Amos Alonzo Stagg High School here in Stockton. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Human Development from University of California, Davis. I also earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California School of Professional Psychology in Alameda, CA. I completed my clinical training at Berkeley Mental Health in Berkeley and at the University of California Davis Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry in Sacramento. My clinical training continued when I began to work for Kaiser Permanente Stockton in July 2002 as a Psychological Assistant. I became a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (license number PSY21574) in July 2007. Coming to Kaiser Permanente Stockton has given me the opportunity to return to the community where I grew up. I find it rewarding to work in a community that I am very familiar with in the capacity of a health care professional. When I am not working, I can usually be found on a golf course.

My role at Kaiser Permanente is to see patients upon their first visit to the Department of Psychiatry to assess treatment needs. I may be one of the first clinicians you meet with if you seek mental health services. I also see patients who are in crisis and in need of immediate intervention. My area of expertise is in the area of crisis intervention. I have over eight years of experience working on a crisis unit at the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center and Crisis Intervention Services for San Joaquin County Mental Health. I also facilitate the Bipolar Support Group and facilitate the Panic Disorder Group here in the Department of Psychiatry.

Philosophy of Care

I believe in treating my patients with the utmost respect and providing the best possible care. The patient’s needs and perspective are a priority. My goal is to help a patient to get his or her needs met from a clinical perspective without discounting a patient’s treatment needs from their own perspective. After all, no one knows a patient better than themselves.

Thank you for visiting my home page. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and I look forward to seeing you.

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.
