Where I practice
About me
I grew up in Texas and did my psychiatric training in Madison, Wisconsin. We decided to move to Colorado to be closer to family and to enjoy the beautiful climate. One of the main reasons I chose to work at Kaiser Permanente was its focus on integrated care, which helps me care for my patients in a more holistic manner.
About my practice
My focus has always been to help patients make sense of the complexities of life and to guide them toward wellness. I take the time to get to know my patients. Involving my patients in the decision-making process is a priority for me. I believe that medications are only one part of the equation, so I work together with my patients to identify other areas of improvement as well. I collaborate with our specialists, pharmacists and others to coordinate my patients’ care, and I can often answer questions by email, phone or video visit.
How I thrive
I enjoy spending time with my family, including our dog, cat and three backyard chickens. I enjoy hiking, trying new foods, reading sci-fi and fantasy fiction, and playing a variety of board/video games.

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.
