About me
I am amazed at how improving mental health impacts not only the individual, but also all the people around them. I wanted to be someone who could make that kind of a difference in the lives of others. Born and raised in Seattle, I moved to Southern California for my medical training. I was chief resident and won the Resident of the Year award in 2010. I lived in California for nearly 10 years and returned to the Northwest to be close to my family and friends.
About my practice
I believe compassion is essential in my work as a doctor. I actively listen to my patients and want them to feel that their feelings and concerns are heard. I strive to treat each of my patients as I would want myself or my family to be treated. I like being part of an integrated health care system where I can collaborate with all medical specialties to deliver excellent whole-person care to patients. I love how medicine challenges my intellect and my ability to interact and develop relationships based on mutual trust with my patients. These relationships allow me to work with patients to promote their health and well-being.
How I thrive
I am happily married, and we have two Border Collies. I enjoy walking, football, and reading. I like to travel, and I love visiting the Disney parks. I have a wonderful support system of family and friends that help me find life balance.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. 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.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
