I am dual licensed as a Clinical Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist. My specialty and passion is in Psychological Testing and evaluation. I provide testing services for children, adolescents, adults, and even couples.

My journey began at Chapman University in Orange, CA, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I then enrolled in Chapman’s Master’s in Clinical Psychology Program with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy. I spent the next decade of my career working as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Psychoanalytic traditions were the foundation of how I worked with clients. I tend to conceptualize from a Lacanian and Object Relations lens. I picked up training and expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as my career as a therapist progressed.

While I was honing my skills as a therapist, I took the opportunity to enroll in Azusa Pacific’s Doctorate of Clinical Psychology Program. It was here where I immersed myself into Psychological and Neuropsychological Testing. I completed my PsyD degree and graduated with distinction for clinical competency. At this stage of my career, I had worked in a variety of settings providing therapy and testing services, including college counseling centers, private practice, and community counseling centers.

My career then shifted to administrative roles. I worked for over a decade in Clinical Director positions managing mental health, chemical dependency, and eating disorder programs. I worked in medical and outpatient settings. While in these roles, I kept my practice as a testing Psychologist.

I am thrilled to be in a position where I can devote the majority of my time to offering testing services. I learn so much from every client I work with and feel great satisfaction knowing that I can help someone understand themselves better.    

In my personal life, I am a husband and dad. I am a former college athlete and incorporate the benefits of sleep, movement, and nutrition in feedback I offer my clients. Some of my other hobbies include playing guitar, weightlifting, and sports.
