You left everything for a life of safety. And now someone is asking you to sit across from a stranger, in a language that may not be yours, and translate the most painful parts of your immigration story into something a court can understand. The fear that your trauma will be minimized, that the words will not carry what actually happened, is real. This is not just paperwork. It is your future. You deserve someone who understands both the clinical and legal weight of a psychological evaluation, and who will make sure your story is never reduced."
I personally conduct every immigration psychological evaluation and coordinate directly with your attorney, so you are never passed between providers at the most critical points of your case. With 15 years of experience at the intersection of trauma and immigration law, I ensure your story is documented with the clinical depth and legal precision it deserves
You deserve a space where your experiences are truly heard, especially when your future depends on how your story is told. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Schedule a free consultation through my website to see if this feels right for you. Sessions available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Let’s document your journey together.
