Hi! I'm Dr. Garcia. I'm a first generation American and a forensic psychologist, personally impacted by immigration. I have a strong foundation in complex legal systems and my background in auditing, teaching and training, developed my ability to navigate intricate legal requirements and maintain rigorous documentation standards — skills that directly inform thorough, credible, and legally defensible mental health evaluations, while understanding the personal impact of the journey.
I bring a holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach to every client interaction, creating safety, respect, and understanding. I am committed to serving those navigating the immigration process with the care and rigor their cases deserve.

I provide psychological evaluations for immigration matters, including asylum, U- and T-visas, VAWA petitions, and hardship waivers. As a child of East African immigrants, I bring clinical expertise and lived understanding, with a deep appreciation for the emotional complexity of the immigration journey.
My trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach is grounded in warmth, patience, and respect. I offer a confidential, nonjudgmental space with clear structure throughout the evaluation process. All evaluations meet USCIS requirements, with well-documented reports tailored for legal review. I value open communication, timely completion, and collaboration with attorneys, with fast turnaround options available.
You don’t have to navigate this process alone. Schedule a consultation today and take the next step forward with support.

I was born in Jalisco, Mexico and at the age of fourteen, life introduced me to the Land of Enchantment. Since then, Albuquerque has seen me grow and evolve into the proud and professional Latina that I am now. I have personally gone through my own naturalization process which gives me a better understanding of what clients are going through emotionally and physically. In 2023, I opened my private practice called Nuevo Healing & Counseling.
I have significant training on trauma and its impacts, as well as many years of experience working with immigrants, asylees and refugees from around the world. I am a native Spanish speaker.
