Welcome to my home page! I am a pediatric occupational therapist (OT), a specialty I chose because of my passion for working with children. As a pediatric OT, I assess and treat a child’s functioning for the “jobs of living” including playing, eating and dressing with the goal of maximum functioning and independence at home, in the community and school.

I joined Kaiser Oakland in October 2010 to become part a team of talented interdisciplinary colleagues. I am thrilled to be a part of an organization that is a leader in the health care field. My 12+ years of practice include 11 years as a school based OT, private practice and employment and training at a children’s hospital. My former career as an architect was also "child-friendly" having the opportunity to work in a firm specializing in children’s environments, playgrounds and accessible design.

I was born and raised in the SF Bay Area and relish in all that it has to offer. When I am not working, I stay active enjoying running, triathlons, Bay swimming, kayaking and many other adventures that include fresh air and friends. I also am fortunate to have my life enriched by 7 inspiring nieces and nephews. I look forward to working with you and your family.

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.
