About
I specialize in psychological evaluations for immigration cases. These include extreme hardship waivers, cancellation of removal waivers, as well as asylum, VAWA, and U & T visa cases. My approach is to work closely with clients and their attorneys to provide a thorough evaluation process in a safe and welcoming environment. I offer thorough, professional evaluations and a quick turnaround time. My carefully detailed reports address the biggest, most important questions about your case.
Since 2016 I've completed over 400 immigration evaluations for clients from all over the world and worked with dozens of attorneys. I strive to provide services in a compassionate and empathetic environment, always assuring you the highest level of confidentiality.
I have 20 years of clinical experience, and I have always worked with immigrants, so I'm familiar with their strengths and struggles. As a bilingual immigrant myself, I know what it feels like to be in a new country where you don’t speak the language, and things are unfamiliar. I know what it’s like to have your heart in two places at once.
