- Master of Arts, Wright Institute
- Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
I am a fourth year graduate student at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA, currently finishing my doctoral degree (Psy.D) in Clinical Psychology. For the last year, I've been a doctoral trainee at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital through the Children and Adolescent Therapy Services (CATS) program, providing child and adolescent therapy, dyadic and family therapy, and therapeutic case management through a trauma-informed and strength-based approach. During the years prior, I provided therapy as a psychology trainee in a community mental health and a community college wellness center, mentored first-generation, BIPOC, high school students interested in psychology, and served as a research assistant in a Personality Psychology lab.
I have a strong passion for working with children and youth, and am excited about the opportunity to expand my assessment skills at Mind Matter, where I can approach evaluations with compassion and an open curiosity to better understand a child's needs.
During my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, running, and being active outside. I also like to cook, try new coffee spots, and cuddle with my cat.

As a practicum trainee, Geraldine assists Dr. MurrayMetzger with her evaluations and provides neurodevelopmental screenings at Mind Matters. Screenings are most helpful when there is a very focused question in one area.
If you are interested in a screening, message our Client Care Coordinator she can get to know more about you and your child, answer your questions, and make sure a screening is the right match for your family.
Start the screening process so that you can better understand your child and how to support them.
