I have been trained to provide competency evaluations and psychosocial evaluations for both humanitarian/trauma based cases and hardship waivers. I speak both Spanish and English and previously have experience working as a paralegal for an immigration lawyer and am familiar with the various legal processes of filing for status.
My approach aims to work closely with both client and attorney to provide quality detailed reports. Throughout the evaluation, I strive to offer a compassionate and supportive environment as I know it can be challenging to discuss the traumatic event(s).
Assessments include 1-2 interviews and a final report. I have more immediate availability for clients who want to see an evaluator sooner rather than later.
*I hold a limited number of pro-bono, sliding scale and/or discounted psycho-social evaluations. Payment plans available as needed*
