Clients often open up to me in ways they haven’t with anyone else. Why? As an immigrant who navigated the immigration process myself, the therapeutic setting I create builds trust and rapport, allowing clients to share details they might be afraid to share, even with their attorneys. Sometimes, those details are exactly what strengthens their case and helps them win. I worked in a nationally recognized immigration law firm, where I learned the ins and outs of the immigration system. Now, I run a mental health practice, focused on helping other immigrants through therapy and evaluations tailored to their cases. Working with attorneys and their clients, I combine real-world experience, cultural sensitivity, and professional expertise to create evaluations that strengthen cases.
