My Qualifications

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I started working for Kaiser in 1995 at the Kaiser Foundation Rehabilitation Center and Kaiser Vallejo hospital. I provided social work assistance to patients recovering from spinal cord injuries, head injuries and strokes and other general medical issues. I joined the Early Start Program in 1997 and worked concurrently in the Chemical Dependency Services for 4 and a half years. Before joining Kaiser, I worked in community based substance abuse treatment programs including a day treatment program for pregnant and parenting women.

My Professional Interests

I am particularly interested in women, infant and family health and substance abuse recovery. Having worked as a graduate student intern at Kaiser Sunset’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, I appreciate and value working in the Early Start Program that emphasizes prevention of tobacco, alcohol and drug related complications.

I enjoy providing information and support to help facilitate good birth outcomes, positive transitions to motherhood and recovery from substance abuse/dependence. It is very rewarding to witness and assist people dealing with difficult challenges and circumstances, making such powerful and positive changes.

My Personal Interests

In my free time I like spending time with my family, and enjoy cooking and hiking in the great outdoors.

My Formal Education

Undergraduate Education: Bachelors of Art in Psychology and French, University of California at Davis. Graduate Education: Master of Social Welfare, University of California at Los Angeles.

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.
