About me
Born in Michigan, I am married and have two daughters. I decided to pursue a career in medicine because I wanted to help guide people on the options available to them in order to optimize their quality of life. Each person has a unique set of circumstances and experiences that shape what they will choose.
About my practice
Everyone deserves health care that is compassionate, respectful and tailored to fit their individual needs. I strive to engage my patients in conversations that empower them to make decisions that are right for them. In my role as a clinician at Kaiser Permanente in Seattle, I am in charge of family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine and psychiatry. I chose to work here because I believe the focus should be on keeping people healthy. I treat all ages and all conditions. It is a privilege to be a part of people's lives and an honor to be trusted to keep people healthy.
How I thrive
I enjoy hiking and skiing. I stay mentally and physically healthy by being mindful, eating fresh fruits and vegetables with every meal, and eating dinner each night at the table with my husband and our children. I enjoy the outdoors, and I love living in Seattle because of the quick and easy access to the mountains.

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.
