Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Riverside, CA

As a Christian therapist, the well-being of you and your family is very important to me. Over the past 35+ years of counseling I have seen a variety of conditions that harm individuals and their relationships. Though these issues can be painful and complex, there are basic underlying principles, that when properly grasped, unleash healing that lasts a lifetime. This kind of healing does not begin with psychological tools and techniques, but with changes in the heart that only God can create. For this reason, letting go of unforgiveness, fear and pride is essential to healing that lasts.

I help people who find themselves stuck and are seeking change. We all get stuck from time-to-time and in most cases we just need a little help to get moving again. I take a flexible interactive and collaborative approach that is developed specifically for you to facilitate movement and change. So, if you find yourself or someone you care about in an unfulfilling career, troubled relationship, overwhelmed by the stress of life or struggling with a traumatic event from the past I can help.

We all need help at times, and it could be difficult and scary when we do, but getting help could be the best thing we do for ourselves. Life's journey can take us to many places, but in order to walk on this journey we need to be alive. I look at therapy as part of this life’s journey. A moment in time when we walk together and look at life in a way that makes better sense for you and for me. It would be an honor to take those steps with you and try and develop a better life journey for you.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

My practice is limited to psychological and educational assessment. In addition to being a licensed psychologist, I am also a credentialed school psychologist. The two fields give me a unique perspective to help in the diagnosis of and recommendations for many issues including emotional disturbances, autistic spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, mental deficiencies, ADHD, and others.

We are a diverse group practice and consider it a privilege in being apart of helping you discover how to operate from the best in you. Our goal as therapists is to work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families in a process of self-reflection, self-validation and self confrontation while acting with integrity and operating from the best in themselves. We work with individuals to assist them in developing satisfying, meaningful relationships by helping them attain a balance between autonomy and connection to others.

Never before have children, adolescents, and young adults in the education system been more challenged. High-stakes standardized testing and the one size fits all approach to education have caused some of the most resilient students to become stressed and/or fall behind. Students who have disabilities are often overlooked or given the incorrect interventions, causing them to fall further behind. I offer comprehensive evaluations that not only determine if a child qualifies for special education but also by finding each child's unique strengths and weaknesses we are able to match the interventions to the child's unique needs.

My practice is currently focused on conducting psychological evaluations, with an emphasis on Psychological Evaluations for Immigration purposes.
