As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to providing the professional expertise and compassionate care your case deserves.
I specialize in psychological evaluations for immigration relief, including asylum, VAWA, U visas, T visas, and extreme hardship waivers. All assessments are conducted via telehealth, and I coordinate interpreter
services as needed to ensure clear, accurate, and culturally appropriate communication.
My reports are clinically sound, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. Each evaluation is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the unique emotional and psychological impact of trauma, abuse, family separation, and systemic barriers. I strive to deliver comprehensive, high-quality assessments that effectively support both clients and their legal teams.
Above all, I’m committed to helping individuals tell their stories with dignity, clarity, and compassion.

Survivors of oppression and trauma by being justice-focused, affirming and collaborative
I am passionate about trauma informed care, restorative justice and harm reduction. Worked in all three areas throughout state of California predominantly in Bay Area and Los Angeles. My work with clients filmed in documentary and podcasts. Growing up exposed to community violence and oppressions speaks volumes in my work and faith to universe and healing ❤️???? components.
People are experts in their own needs and experiences. I work in a practice that is affirming of people of color, undocumented folks, sex workers, kink, polyamory, and LGBTQ+ communities. Ancestral healing is, in essence, being able to look to ancestors in the past and present — living ancestors, as well — and connect with them!

I have been trained to provide psychosocial evaluations for both humanitarian/trauma based cases and hardship waivers. I speak both Spanish and English and previously have experience working as a paralegal for an immigration lawyer and am familiar with the various legal processes of filing for status.
My approach aims to work closely with both client and attorney to provide quality detailed reports. Throughout the evaluation, I strive to offer a compassionate and supportive environment as I know it can be challenging to discuss the traumatic event(s).
Assessments include 1-2 interviews and a final report. I have more immediate availability for clients who want to see an evaluator sooner rather than later.
*I hold a limited number of pro-bono, sliding scale and/or discounted psycho-social evaluations. Payment plans available as needed*
