Welcome To My Practice

I became interested in Physical Therapy because of a friend who I admired for many reasons. There happened to be a Physical Therapy program in Fresno, where I lived, and I was one of the 10% of the applicants accepted that year. After graduating, we moved to the Bay Area, where I have raised our 2 children. I have been employed at Kaiser Permanente since 1987 in variable roles within Physical Therapy.

Background

I have a BS in Physical Therapy from CSU Fresno, and am currently upgrading to a Doctorate level, through the University of South Alabama, on-line. I am qualified with the Institute of Physical Art, headquartered in Steamboat Springs CO, as a Certified Functional Manual Therapist. Along the way, I became interested in education, and nearly have a teaching credential as well.

Recommendations

I strongly believe that you are the best resource and advocate for your own health. Genetics are dealt to us at birth, but choices regarding environment, diet, stress, activity level, habits and outlook, can make real physiological changes in our bodies. Kaiser Permanente has a vested interest in helping your to stay as healthy as possible. There is a wealth of information and programs available through our health Education department, our corporate Website (kp.org), departmental and individual provider homepages (such as the one you are looking at now). We look forward to partnering with you in making healthy lifestyle changes.

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.
