About me
I am a native of New York City and have lived in Atlanta since 1980. I enjoy the slower pace here and all of the experiences and opportunities that the city has to offer. I have worked as a child and adolescent therapist for over 25 years in several different behavioral health settings, including community mental health. I joined Kaiser Permanente in April 1995. I have worked in behavioral health at Crescent Medical Center since then.
About my practice
I am part of the Crescent Medical Center Behavioral Health Department, which includes psychiatrists, clinical nurse specialists and therapists. As a team, we provide a number of services within our department. I currently see children, adolescents and families for therapy. I also do support groups for teens and parenting groups for parents of ADD/ADHD children. I am also involved in several committees both within behavioral health and Kaiser Permanente in general. I chair the associate practitioners advisory committee (APAC) and represent associate providers on the culture and wellness committee. I currently serve on the department peer review committee and the ADHD work group.
How I thrive
I have learned the importance of balancing work and my personal life so that I can practice what I try to convey to our members. I do this by going to the YMCA four to five times a week, reading and spending time with my husband and children.

Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
