Compassionate, evidence-based psychological services for children, adolescents, and young adults in Orange County
Hello and welcome! As a clinical psychologist, I provide quality, relatable psychological services to families throughout Orange County, including assessment and therapy services to children who are struggling with an emotional, behavioral, or developmental problem.
I specialize in treating anxiety and OCD, as well as ADHD, in children, adolescents, and young college-age adults.
About me
I have a passion for working with families and helping them overcome their unique, individual challenges. As a father and a psychologist, I appreciate how difficult it can be to see a child struggle with an emotional, behavioral or developmental issue. It is a privilege to be able to share my knowledge and walk side-by-side with my patients as they work towards change.
I earned my Doctorate of Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) at Loyola University Maryland, and I completed my predoctoral and postdoctoral training in pediatric psychology and integrated care at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), where I provided care in the Emergency Department, oncology and general floors, and for outpatients. I also have advanced training in treating anxiety problems in children using cognitive-behavioral therapy. In addition to my clinical work, my research has been published in high-impact psychology journals such as the Journal of Pediatric Psychology and the Journal of Youth and Adolescence.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, bird-watching, climbing, building in my wood shop and spending time with my wife and daughter.
