About Me

I trained in General Psychiatry and have specialized in Geriatric Psychiatry. I have been in clinical practice since 1991, both in academic and non-academic settings. I spent many years working with cancer patients in two Comprehensive Cancer Centers in Houston, Texas , and Tampa, Florida. I have been with Kaiser Permanente Colorado since 2008 and enjoy every minute of my work.

About my practice

The Behavioral Health Department at Kaiser Permanente is committed to providing the best care for our members. We are focused on working with you to maximize your health. Our staff works together to ensure that each aspect of your visit is as pleasant and productive as possible. I believe in shared decision making and collaborative care. My practice focus is Geriatric Psychiatry, although I do also see younger patients.

How I thrive

In order to stay healthy, one needs a good work-life balance. My passion outside of work, besides my family, is music. Throughout childhood and adulthood, I have played piano and cello and sung in community choirs. Classical music is a central element to my happiness an ability to thrive.
