I am a bilingual/bicultural therapist with more than two decades of experience providing support, family education, and counseling in culturally diverse settings with immigrant families, working through the adjustment and stress associated with displacement. My training as a graduate of the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma has prepared me to offer a unique lens to understand the complexity of immigration trauma. Further training at the Immigration Evaluation Institute equipped me to execute and write immigration evaluation reports accurately and professionally. I have a doctorate in leadership in higher education. I strive to offer a welcoming environment with hospitality and a sincere relational approach that is culturally attuned.

I provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including asylum, hardship waivers, VAWA, U-visas, T-visas, cancellation of removal, and N-648 waivers. My reports are thorough, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, written to meet legal standards while honoring each person’s experience.
As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years in the mental health field, I bring clinical depth and compassion to every case. I understand the emotional toll of trauma, fear, and separation, and I create a safe space for clients to share their stories.
Evaluations are conducted virtually across 40+ PSYPACT states, with interpreter support available. I collaborate closely with immigration attorneys to ensure reports are accurate, timely, and effective. Clients often share that the process helped them feel seen, supported, and validated during a difficult time.
