About Me

I grew up in the Sacramento area, graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in English and my first career was in education, teaching at a secondary boarding school for 15 years in Sedona, Arizona.

I went back to graduate school in 1989 on the East Coast and received a Masters in Counseling from Harvard University and a Masters in Social Work from Boston College.

I have worked as a dual diagnosis counselor and served on two county mental health crisis/access teams. I am licensed by the State of California Board of Behavioral Sciences.

I joined the Permanente Medical Group in 2000. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders and trauma in adult psychiatry in Roseville. The anxiety pathway consists of therapists, a doctor and nurse from each facility. Staff conduct assessments, provide treatment plans for patients, conduct classes and see patients individually for brief therapy. The treatment areas in the anxiety pathway include: panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The anxiety program is designed to help people understand and manage their anxiety better. They are self-referred or referred by their primary care doctors to the pathway overview classes (anxiety or panic overview) or they are referred by a psychiatrist, a therapist from another program, or from an initial intake appointment in the psychiatry department.

I enjoy running and hiking in the foothills, meditate daily and love traveling to exotic places.

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.
