About me

I grew up in a small town outside of Cleveland but went to both University of Michigan and The Ohio State University for my education so I am full of Big Ten love. I did my training in New York City but then lived in Australia, which ruined my husband and me for the East Coast, so we moved to Colorado. Colorado is like Australia, with its more relaxed and outdoor lifestyle, but not so far from family. I come from a very diverse family with many religions, languages and cultures represented. I speak Spanish and have always sought a connection with the Latino community wherever I work. That said, it’s the diversity of my family’s experience that has made me and has inspired me to travel, live and work abroad.

About my practice

I chose family medicine because of the diversity of experience through the cycles of life – I enjoy pediatrics, teen health, women’s health and internal medicine. I was also drawn to family medicine because the emphasis is looking at the whole patient, the family and the community. I practice evidence-based medicine but believe in meeting each patient where you are and working together. For all the advancement in medicine, I still feel the most important part of health care is the interpersonal, human connections that we make. I look forward to seeing you and enjoy learning about you. I welcome patients of all backgrounds and orientations to my practice and hope everyone finds this to be a safe space. I offer my patients convenience and can answer some questions by email, phone or video visit. I work as a team with our specialists, pharmacists and others to coordinate your care.

How I thrive

I thrive by spending time with my family, hiking, skiing, camping and traveling. I find great stress relief in tending our garden and cooking from it. I love to cook and especially appreciate the challenge of taking all kinds of vegetables, beans and grains and making them into meals my picky kids enjoy.

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.
