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.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of clinical experience and a special focus on working with immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking populations. I offer evaluations and clinical documentation in both English and Spanish, and have experience working with interpreters to assess clients who speak other languages. I strive to provide culturally-sensitive care grounded in empathy, humility, and clinical depth.
Whether you need thorough psychological evaluations for legal cases, asylum documentation, or a trauma assessment, I am committed to providing timely, professional, and culturally-informed reports that reflect clinical excellence and integrity.

I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Psychologist in California and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I am a native Cantonese speaker and am proficient in Chinese Mandarin. I have over 20 years of experience offering mental health services to immigrants and families from diverse backgrounds in various settings, including primary care clinics, community-based programs, substance abuse and detoxification centers, correctional facilities, and inpatient treatment centers. Since 2020, I have maintained a private practice offering psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to children, adolescents, and adults. While I offer virtual assessments for asylum, hardship waivers, and VAWA to clients in NY and CA, I can only conduct in-person assessments to clients in CA who require a Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions (N-648).
