About Me

I was born and raised in Berkeley, CA. I received a BA from UC Berkeley in Biochemistry and an MA from California State University, Hayward, in Cell Biology. I worked as a research technician at UC San Francisco prior to getting a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the CA School of Professional Psychology in Alameda. My clinical training includes internships at UC Davis Medical Center and at Minneapolis Children's Medical Center and post-doctoral training at Kaiser-Martinez Department of Psychiatry. Prior to joining the Permanente Medical Group in 2000, I worked at Alta California Regional Center.

As a staff psychologist on the Child Team, I work with children and teenagers of all ages. Providers in the Child, Adolescent and Family program are specialists in the mental health problems experienced by children and their families. We provide brief treatment to children, adolescents and families. We involve the family in learning new skills to deal with psychiatric issues. We see people individually, in families or in groups depending upon problems being treated and the developmental needs of the child.

I am licensed by the CA Board of Psychology and am affiliated with the Society for Pediatric Psychology, National Academy of Neuropsychology, and Children's Oncology Group.

I enjoy cooking, reading, photography, and hiking.

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.
