About Dr. Lord

I am a north county San Diego-based clinical and assessment psychologist. I have worked within many behavioral health care systems within southern California over the past 10 years. I specialize in complex psychological assessment and diagnostic testing. 

My clinical work focuses on providing the highest quality of care. I also aim to increase support for underserved populations through assessment and education through the lens of systemic, cultural, developmental, and contextual factors. Each person or client presents with their own unique situation. These can be simple, complex, chronic, unsupported, never treated, or possibly never realized.  

Accurate diagnoses and a thorough understanding of each person is critical to support and treatment success. I am dedicated to using evidence-based  approaches to help build a better understanding of your needs. A good evaluation should be simple, easy to understand, and incorporate many areas of needs and strengths. An assessment report and feedback should be easy for anyone to understand. Our goal is to give you the “big picture” and, most importantly, what to do next.
