My Biography

Kaiser Permanente has a good reputation for hands-on physical therapy. In our Physical Therapy department, I received good instruction and gained skills in practical, applicable methods. Kaiser maintains high standards for physical therapy, and I work with a terrific group of colleagues. My mission is to help people enjoy movement; working at the Chronic Pain Management Center allows me to observe movement, come up with interactions, and give people options that might facilitate their movement. My patients change solidly over time, in very moderate steps that lead to slow, steady progression.

I received a grant through Kaiser Permanente to increase movement for older adults. I also enjoy aquatic physical therapy and I love working with members in warm water. Being in the water allows people to develop patterns that might be hard to replicate on land.

During my free time, one of my most avid pursuits outside of work is aikido, a Japanese martial art of harmony. I have been practicing this art for 27 years, and run an aikido dojo in San Francisco. I thrive by meditating almost every day, and swimming.

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.
