About me
I grew up in Berkeley, California. I am happily married, and have one young daughter. My mom moved to Seattle to help care for our baby girl while my husband and I finished our residencies. I chose medicine because of my desire to help people become their healthiest and happiest selves. I love my patients, and the long-lasting relationships I have with them. During residency, I was the leader of our Ethiopian community health track. I received extra training in women's reproductive health.
About my practice
The most important thing I can do is listen to my patients, and hear where they are coming from; this allows me to offer them the best care within the context of their complex lives. I feel honored to have the opportunity to accompany my patients through their highs and lows, and love caring for entire families. My areas of specialty are women's health (except obstetrics), LGBTQ care, pediatrics, mental health, addiction, and in-office procedures. I believe in partnering with my patients, and helping them to make the best decisions possible, and I feel honored to work in a well-organized and supportive health care community.
How I thrive
I try to live each day to the fullest, practice gratitude and make time for myself. I enjoy being outdoors with my family, cooking and sharing good food with my friends and family. I also enjoy yoga, walking, snowshoeing and canoeing.

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.
