About me

Welcome to Kaiser Permanente! I'm glad to share some information about myself. I hope you find this helpful.

 

Biography

 

I grew up in Northern New Jersey, where I also completed my medical residency. Afterward, I practiced for several years in the Boston suburbs before relocating to the Los Angeles area almost 15 years ago. My journey in medicine has been driven by a deep commitment to providing patient-centered care and supporting overall wellness.

 

About my practice

 

My approach is rooted in listening to and understanding each individual’s unique circumstances. I believe that building a trusting partnership with members creates the foundation for effective treatment and long-term health. I am committed to practicing medicine with integrity, empathy, and a focus on preventive care, aiming to empower members to take an active role in their health journey.

 

I work with a diverse member population, but I have particular experience in women's health, especially as they transition into the perimenopause and menopause years, members who are struggling with their metabolic health and obesity, and chronic health conditions. Understanding the distinct needs and challenges of these groups allows me to tailor my care and communication to support them effectively. Whether managing complex health concerns or providing routine wellness care, I prioritize clear communication, respect, and collaboration.

 

I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where members feel comfortable discussing their health goals and concerns. I believe that thoughtful, personalized care leads to better outcomes and a more positive healthcare experience.

 

How I thrive

 

I find balance and energy in spending quality time with my family, which keeps me grounded and inspired. Staying physically active is also important to me, and I enjoy taking advantage of the many hiking trails in the area to stay fit and connect with nature. Volunteering with various community organizations allows me to give back and stay engaged beyond my clinical work. These activities help me maintain a healthy lifestyle and bring renewed focus and enthusiasm to my practice.
