About me

I was born and raised in Boulder, and then went to the University of California-Davis for my undergraduate studies. I have always been good at math and science, and optometry is the perfect combination of both. After getting my Doctor of Optometry degree at the University of California-Berkeley, I moved back home to Colorado. I've been very happy with my career at Kaiser Permanente because it's the perfect blend of technology and human interaction. There's always something new to learn!

About my practice

I believe it's really important to connect personally with the people I care for. I'm always interested to learn about you as an individual, not just as a pair of eyeballs. Losing vision is a very basic fear among most humans, so I try to be sensitive and caring when the person I'm working with is nervous or afraid. I will do everything I can to make your life better. The more you partner with me in this endeavor, the more successful we will be. Your electronic medical record helps me to see the big picture of your health, so we can make good use of our time together and I can answer your questions.

How I thrive

I have three children who are almost adults, and I'm incredibly proud of all of them and the people they are becoming. My greatest joy is spending time with them and our animals. In my spare time, I'm an avid movie-goer, love to read books (especially biographies and memoirs) and am also recently learning how to do wood carving.

Medicare Members: To request a hard copy of Kaiser Permanente’s provider directory, please call our Member Services department at 1-800-476-2167, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Kaiser Permanente will mail a hard copy of the provider directory to you within three (3) business days of your request. Kaiser Permanente may ask whether your request for a hard copy is a one-time request or if you are requesting to receive the provider directory in hard copy permanently.

If you request it, your request for hard copies of the provider directory remains until you leave Kaiser Permanente or request that hard copies be discontinued.

Kaiser Permanente considers the following factors as it builds and maintains provider networks:

  • Size and demographics of the population to be served
  • The inventory of provider and facility types required to serve the population
  • Practitioner-to-member ratios and geographic access standards
  • Application of credentialing criteria encompassing but not limited to educational training, licensing, professional experience, board certification, and professional references

You may select a primary care provider (PCP) from family medicine, pediatrics, or internal medicine. When possible, we encourage you to choose a PCP whose office is in a Kaiser Permanente Medical Office Building. You may have a higher copayment and/or coinsurance with certain PCP providers. Please refer to your “Schedule of Benefits (Who Pays What)” for additional details. Use the Provider Affiliation dropdown to sort to Kaiser Permanente providers.

An authorization or referral may be required to access some providers in this directory. If you have questions, contact Member Services.
