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.

Hello! I've been in practice since 2007 and have offered evaluations since 2015. My evaluations are thorough and well-researched, offering a narrative of relevant details of clients' lives as well as incorporating clinical research from peer-reviewed journals.
In addition to evaluations, I provide grief counseling to men and women of all ages as well as teach online courses about all things grief. Since the focus area of my therapy practice is grief, it offers a unique perspective when working with immigrant families.
At this time, my virtual practice is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am licensed and offer virtual evaluations to clients located in CT, FL, IL, IN, MI, OH, SC, and WI.
