My Biography
While attending graduate school in the Bay Area, I learned that Kaiser’s training program had a great reputation. After I completed my training, I was lucky enough to be hired full-time. I have the chance to work with providers who possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We have a supportive, collaborative team approach in this department. I appreciate the opportunity to work with San Francisco’s diverse population. I get to see patients who present an incredible spectrum of interesting cases. For example, people express depression and anxiety in a myriad of ways, so it is essential to learn how to deal with each individual and their symptoms in a personalized manner tailored to the patient’s needs. I also enjoy learning about my patients’ cultures, and I try to incorporate an individual’s cultural and spiritual beliefs into the treatment plan.
I get the most enjoyment out of my practice knowing that I have been a part of the healing process. Few things are as gratifying as watching a patient leave the office feeling some degree of relief from the pain that prompted their visit. My areas of interest are broad. Though I would consider myself a generalist, I am a member of the Women’s Health Team, the Neuropsychological Assessment Team, and the LBGT team. Some of the more common issues I treat include anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
When I’m away from the medical center, I like to hike, kayak, listen to and play music, and teach my dog agility routines. To thrive, I try to use my sense of humor and endeavor not to take life too seriously. It helps to keep a stash of chocolate handy!

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.
