Where I practice
About me
I am passionate about the mind-body connection and creating an environment of health and healing. I graduated with a master’s in social work degree in 2002 from University of Denver.
About my practice
Behavioral Medicine Specialists are licensed mental health professionals and psychologists who actively participate with our primary care, pediatric, family medicine, and internal medicine teams to deliver integrated, whole person health. They are embedded in Kaiser Permanente Primary Care Medical Offices and are available for consult to primary care doctors, other providers, and members. This allows the member and providers to get their needs met in an immediate way by being able to access the experts who can better assess the member’s needs and coordinate care in real time. The role of the BMS varies depending on individual needs. In general, the BMS can screen for mental health and substance use issues, provide short term interventions to reduce symptomatology and improve functioning, connect members with appropriate level of care, and coordinate care with other specialty departments and primary care team members.
How I thrive
I enjoy running, skiing, cycling, and time with friends and family.

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.
