LPC-MHSP

As a bilingual therapist based in the southeastern United States, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. Growing up in Mexico before relocating to the US, I have firsthand experience navigating the complexities of immigration. This background, coupled with my professional experience collaborating with immigration attorneys, equips me to offer comprehensive immigration evaluations. Having personally undergone the immigration process, I understand the challenges individuals face and the importance of mental health support during such times of hardship. My dual cultural understanding allows me to connect deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds, providing a safe and empathetic space for them to share their experiences. I am committed to utilizing my expertise to support individuals through their immigration journeys, advocating for their well-being and ensuring they receive the care and assistance they deserve.

I am a bilingual (Chinese-Mandarin) bicultural licensed clinical marriage and family therapist licensed in Maryland, District of Columba, and Virginia. I obtained a Ph.D. in Family Science and a M.S. in Couple and Family Therapy from University of Maryland at College Park, U.S.A. and a M.A. in Parenting Education from Beijing Normal University, China. Since 2022, I have successfully completed evaluations for extreme hardship cases and U-visa cases.

I completed advanced training on psychological evaluations for Petitions for Extreme Hardship Waivers (I-601 or I-601A Waiver), Asylum Cases, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) cases, and U-visa cases and court preparation training from Georgia King.

I usually meet with clients twice, online or in-person, each time lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. Based on the assessments, I provide a very thorough, between 15-25 pages report depending on the type of evaluation.

As a first-generation Mexican American, having lived in Mexico as a teen and young adult, with my fluency in English and Spanish, my bicultural background enables me to establish rapport and provide culturally competent care to diverse populations while fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity. In addition to my counseling degree, I hold a master’s degree from St. Mary's University in International Relations with a concentration on international development. This educational background broadens my understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and global perspectives, enriching my ability to navigate complex cultural nuances.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15+ years of experience working with diverse clients in DC, MD, VA, and MI. I am passionate about using my clinical assessment skills and understanding of trauma to help clients and families with immigration cases. I strive to be warm, affirming, client-centered, and culturally sensitive, and I am personally rooted in a desire for social justice.

I recently relocated back to my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan; I have a telehealth practice serving MI, DC, VA, and MD. Most people value the time saved on travel to and from appointments and appreciate the flexibility to meet where it is convenient for them.

I look forward to hearing your story.
