Biography
I’m a Sacramento native, UCLA Bruin, and clinical psychologist, in chronological order. These days, I work in private practice with teens and adults who are looking to make a change; they’re stumped, though, about where to begin. That’s where my skillset comes in handy. I specialize in a unique type of psychological testing called Therapeutic Assessment. There are only two people certified in California to conduct these types of assessments and I’m one of them.
A breakdown of how it works – while it might not sound intuitive, the questions that puzzle you most are going to guide us. For instance, you might wonder:
Do I have ADHD?
Why am I such a perfectionist?
How can I have longer lasting, meaningful relationships?
How can I feel confident enough to try new things?
From there we work together on some tests/measures that will help us understand the very challenges that are holding you back. You’ll gain kernels of insight along the way and by the end of the assessment, your questions will finally have answers.
Much research has gone into determining what it takes to make lasting change; as we all know band aids have short shelf lives. Over 30 studies have shown how Therapeutic Assessment helps clients get unstuck and gain momentum. The versatility of this method allows clinicians to practice it throughout the world, from the U.S. to Mexico to Japan to Italy. At the end of the day, the human experience is universal and everyone could use a hand sometimes.
