As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist—and an immigrant myself—I understand how emotional and overwhelming the immigration journey can be. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to helping people navigate this process with care, understanding, and respect. I specialize in psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including Asylum, Extreme Hardship (I-601, I-601A Waivers), Cancellation of Removal, VAWA, and U Visa and T Visa petitions. Every assessment is carefully tailored to your unique circumstances so your story is honored and conveyed with clarity, empathy, and professionalism.
Having completed advanced training and conducted hundreds of evaluations across diverse contexts, I strive to make this significant and often stressful process as supportive and empowering as possible—creating reports that truly reflect your voice and experiences.
I hold dual master’s degrees in Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy, which shape my holistic, person-centered approach. If we work together, you can expect a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and confident as you move forward toward healing, stability, and hope.
