I am a trauma therapist with 15 years of experience in the field of immigration. Throughout my career, I have worked in community-based organizations to support immigrant survivors of intimate partner violence, human trafficking, and loved ones of homicide. I have experience working with interpreters to complete clinical assessments and have worked with attorneys when providing letters of support for individual therapy clients with immigration cases. My work is grounded in an understanding of how trauma intersects with the immigration experience, and I strive to provide a welcoming and culturally aware space for each client. I provide evaluations for VAWA, U- and T-Visas, hardship waivers, and asylum cases. My focus is to ensure that each assessment reflects the client’s full story in a respectful and clinically sound manner. I work collaboratively with the client and their attorney to provide thorough and timely evaluations that contribute meaningfully to each client’s case.
