I specialize in trauma-informed psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including asylum, VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, and hardship waivers. My work is informed by my volunteer experience with the Weill Cornell Center for Human Rights, where I conducted forensic psychological evaluations for asylum seekers. This experience shaped my compassionate and thorough approach. I am dedicated to creating a safe and empathetic environment where clients feel heard and understood, particularly when recounting difficult or traumatic experiences. I collaborate closely with immigration attorneys to ensure that each evaluation is both legally sound and clinically detailed, helping clients present the strongest case possible.
I primarily offer virtual evaluations via telehealth, providing flexibility for clients regardless of location. For clients who prefer in-person evaluations or need accommodations, I am available to travel within the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT) for an additional fee.
