About me
I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, but did my residency training in Providence, Rhode Island. My partner and I have always loved the Pacific Northwest, so we decided relocate here after my training. I have a wonderful partner. We have an amazing daughter, as well as an energetic dog and cat.
About my practice
I chose a career in medicine, and psychiatry in particular, because I love the combination of science and interactions with people. I am constantly awed and honored to participate in people's lives as part of their medical team. During my residency, I was very involved in teaching both residents and medical students. I believe in Kaiser Permanente's approach to health care, and I value being part of a collaborative team that is patient centered. I have experience in all areas of general adult psychiatry, but I have a specific interest in trauma/PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), depression, and anxiety disorders. I love the challenge of my work. I love getting to know my patients and working together with them to help them achieve their goals.
How I thrive
I enjoy walking, hiking, and biking. My family and I cook dinner together every night. We enjoy being outdoors and exploring all the beautiful sites around the Pacific Northwest. My approach to overall health includes regular exercise, eating lots of fresh, healthy food, and spending lots of quality time with family and friends.

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.
