Meet Jared

I am currently in my third year of clinical training and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a community mental health setting. I partner with clients and families to provide support tailored to their needs while helping them navigate psychological stressors such as anxiety, depression, adjustment, trauma, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, grief, and behavioral difficulties. I approach treatment from a trauma informed and interpersonal approach, emphasizing collaboration, empathy, and safety to support the well-being of the client

Education & Training
 

I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. I earned my Masters of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University in May 2026. I earned my Bachelor’s of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology from Azusa Pacific University in May 2024. 

 

Through my clinical experience, I have assisted in administrating, scoring, and interpreting ADHD and Autism Spectrum assessment testing. I have provided talk therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults within a community mental health clinic setting. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Counseling Access to Lethal Means (CALM), Seeking Safety, and Child Abuse Assessment and  Reporting. I am dedicated to fostering a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.
