Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in California
In addition to therapy, I provide psychological testing and evaluation to address problems related to memory, attention (ADHD), learning disabilities, and emotional/behavioral difficulties.
I work with individuals and couples who feel trapped in self-defeating patterns of anxiety, despair, and anger. This may be related to a traumatic experience or loss. Others may find that these disruptive patterns have always been there but are now making the choice to live life differently - one that feels more genuine and meaningful. Most feel that they are losing control of their own lives and that they are lacking balance in some very important ways. I specialize in interpersonal therapy to treat problems such as trauma, mood disorders, and chronic relationship difficulties.

Perfectionism, procrastination, social withdrawal, and oppositional behaviors can be a common part of child development in today's culture of hyper-achievement combined with technology. Child and adolescent behaviors viewed as problematic are frequently communications to those closest to them about a difficulty they are experiencing in their world. I work with children and with families who are struggling to understand their child's academic, behavioral, and emotional struggles.

In spite of our best efforts and intentions, life can present us with unexpected challenges in our families, challenges that push us to our very limits.

Understanding this will allow you to be your best self and the best advocate or caregiver you can be. As a therapist, my goal is to give troubled families the support they need to restore balance and wellness.
