Are you navigating the immigration process and feeling overwhelmed, scared, or unsure where to start? I specialize in writing comprehensive, trauma-informed psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including asylum, VAWA, hardship waivers, U-Visas, T-Visas, and cancellation of removal. If you are seeking an immigration evaluation to support your case, I’m here to guide you through the process with care and clarity.

As a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) licensed in California & Washington, I bring years of experience working with immigrants, first-generation individuals, and those carrying generational trauma. I get the emotional & cultural pressures that arise during the immigration process and strive to create a safe space for you to share your experience.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or family stress connected to your immigration journey, I am here to help you feel seen and supported. Your story matters, and I am honored to help you tell it. You don’t have to navigate this alone. When you’re ready, reach out and we’ll take the next steps together.
