Navigating the immigration process is overwhelming. Your lawyer is handling the legal side, but you’re left feeling anxious, confused, and scared. The stress of this process it’s taking its toll, and you’re searching for support, that’s where I come in. An Immigration Psychological Evaluation can provide critical support for your case. This could be the key factor in keeping your family together rather than torn apart. Whether you're seeking asylum, facing hardship, applying for a waiver, or proving the emotional impact of separation, I take the time to provide a comprehensive evaluation. You don’t have to do this alone.

Finding the right fit therapist is a very personalized experience, so it's important to me that clients are confident in this choice. This may be the first time talking about painful experiences, uncomfortable feelings or unhealthy choices. My goal is that clients feel safe in a supportive environment. My approach is less concern for diagnoses, though that's part of the process, and more concern with identifying symptoms. By focusing on these, clients can experience a better quality of life, feel less confused about situations, have confidence in making decisions and feel like they are more in control of their lives.

Finding the right therapist can feel tricky, whether you're new to therapy or have years of experience. It can be hard to tell from a description how a connection will feel! To help, I offer free 15-minute consultations so we can explore whether working together feels supportive for you. I believe the therapeutic relationship is what allows therapy to go anywhere, creating the safety needed for growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we can help you understand your brain/body connection, cultivate safety and self-compassion, discern between intuition and anxiety, and build a life that reflect what you truly value.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
