Why Kaiser?
I’ve been working at KP since 2011, though I’ve been a member since I was 4 as I grew up in Southern California. I believe that our ability to practice high quality medicine independently along with connection to primary care and specialists in our integrated system offers our patients the best treatment outcomes. In addition, our unique residency and fellowship programs allow us variety in our work week including time for teaching, mentorship, research and administrative duties that I am invigorated by. I also serve as the co-chair for our KP regional psychiatry symposium.
I am married and have 2 children that I had during residency and fellowship. I enjoy fantasy and horror and love to travel.

Why Kaiser?
I’ve been working at KP since 2013, I joined straight out of fellowship. Initially life circumstances landed me at KP – My husband matched at the family medicine program here and I needed a stable job to move across the country to with our then 2 children. Now I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Our integrated system, physician leadership top to bottom, opportunities for patient care, system improvement, leadership and administration as well as teaching makes this the best of all worlds. I love the people that I work with and I love the mission of our medical group and our organization and being a part of creating the answer to healthcare and mental health care in America.
I am married and have 3 children. I had my girls during residency and fellowship and my son after I started working at KP. My husband is also a physician (family medicine and sports medicine) so I understand the world of a dual physician couple. I love baking, running, weight training, spending time with my family, Movies, Pop Culture and watching crime shows.

Why Kaiser?
I take pride in working for KP. I have always believed in being a team player and feel we achieve best results when we all work together as a team. Working together with our therapists, primary care physicians and other specialists in our integrated system as a team helps us provide top notch behavioral health care for our members.
I am married and have 2 children ages 12 and 14. I enjoy sports, especially Volleyball and Cricket.

Clinical Interests
Neuro psycho immunology, Psychosis, Teaching, Psychotherapies (especially Positive Psychology and Existential Psychotherapy).
Why Kaiser?
I have worked as an inpatient psychiatrist for 10 years prior to joining KP. Some of my patients on the inpatient unit at Loma Linda had Kaiser insurance; I became more and more impressed with the resources that KP was offering them especially when comparing it to other insurances, commercial or otherwise. The more I learned about KP the more I realized that I wanted to be part of a system that combines good medicine with good business, that works efficiently and is integrative. I joined KP in 2018 and I find the outpatient work to be meaningful and rewarding.
I am married, our son is 10 years old. He is very inquisitive and I love to watch his mind expand. I like traveling, unexpected adventures, hiking, the beach, movies, podcasts, good conversations, good books.

Why Kaiser?
I joined KP in 2017 after several years working in a large multi-specialty group/hospital system in VA, doing locum tenems and private practice. I wanted to return home to Southern California where I’m from and KP is a perfect fit for me. I was born and raised in the KP system. I was even able to use KP services while away at college at U.C. San Diego. What I most love about being part of the Kaiser Permanente system is have multiple colleagues I am able to reach out to for an immediate opinion on a challenging case. I can reach out to not only my psychiatric colleagues but fellow physicians and providers of multiple specialties including primary care. Having access to progress notes, lab and imaging results and other documentation by all providers to work with has proven to be invaluable. I appreciate being able to explore other interests in addition to a diverse panel of patients for medication management. I enjoy supervising residents and fellows and sharing my years of experience. I also enjoy sharing patients with multiple therapists. I feel this close contact improves patient care.
My little dog and I live locally. While home I like cooking and doing arts and crafts. I also enjoy traveling, especially to new places and for new adventures. I’m (almost) always up for a new adventure.

Why Kaiser?
As a psychologist, you can choose to work wherever you like- in research, in teaching, in clinical work. Kaiser allowed me to work in all of these areas at the same time and with colleagues I found to be incredibly well- trained, concerned with the best interest of patients, and enjoyable people with whom to spend my days!
I have two children, one in middle school and one in high school. When I’m not at work I spend a lot of time driving to soccer games and dance practice or taking walks with my twin sister. I like to cook, I have a big garden, and I have a secret weakness for post-apocalyptic fiction.
