Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in San Diego, CA
Our understanding of how autism (ASD) presents in adults has increased exponentially in the last few years. We now know that autism can look very different in adults than it does in children, especially when someone has spent a lifetime trying to hide (or mask) their autistic traits. My speciality is in identifying autism among highly-masked adults who have been undiagnosed, or more commonly, misdiagnosed. Common misdiagnoses include bipolar II, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, OCD, and ADHD. I believe that correct diagnosis, no matter how late in life, can be profoundly validating and helpful in planning for the future.

In life we all experience stressors, hardships, and sometimes trauma. These experiences shape our perception and the lens in which we see the world and ourselves. Using an integrative approach of cognitive-behavioral, rational emotive behavior, and dialectical-behavioral therapies, I assist my clients to become whole and healed by learning a new way of responding. In addition, using comprehensive psychological evaluations, I decipher difficult and-or multiple diagnoses, assess an individual's emotional and cognitive functioning, and innate abilities for a variety of purposes including forensic evaluations and expert testimony.

I am a bilingual clinical neuropsychologist with extensive experience evaluating infants, children, adults, and elderly. I also offer therapeutic support for anxiety, depression, as well as issues related to parenting and high conflict divorce/reunification. In treatment, I do not generally espouse one particular theoretical orientation, but instead I evaluate my patients from the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model. I believe that a person is a product of their environment, thus making it important to address a presenting issue on multiple levels in order to facilitate healthy adjustment and function within the existing milieu.
