I am a native of Northern California and love living, working, and playing in such a beautiful, diverse community. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in psychology and counseling in 2000 from California State University, San Francisco. I subsequently moved to New York City to attend graduate school at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. After receiving my Master's Degree in 2003, I moved back home to continue my pursuit of a Doctoral Degree at The Wright Institute in Berkeley. I completed my Pre-Doctoral Internship at the Psychosocial Medicine Clinic at UCSF-San Francisco General Hospital and earned my degree in 2008. I became part of the Kaiser team when I accepted a position in the Post-Doctoral Residency program at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland.

Now a licensed clinicical psychologist, I am proud to be part of the Early Start program in the OBGYN department, supporting women in having a healthy pregnancy whether it be physically, emotionally, mentally, and/or spiritually. A healthy mother equals a healthy baby!
