Background
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing in the mental health field since 1987. I currently serve as our clinic's only Psychiatric Case Manger. I also supervise unlicensed social workers and social work students within the department.
I received my undergraduate degree from the University of the Pacific and my graduate degree from the University of Utah in 1987. As the case manager, I am a member of the IOP team. I lead and co-lead groups regularly. I also work with individuals and families around practical case management issues and family education.
Prior to joining Kaiser Permanente in January 2002, I worked in inpatient and outpatient mental health programs and community based treatment programs. I have experience with public and independent sectors as a clinical director.
I also provide Case Management on Wednesdays at Campbell and Fridays at Mountain View.
