These evaluations can document the lasting effects of abuse, exploitation, persecution, and other forms of violence on an immigrant’s mental health and wellbeing, which can further demonstrate the appropriateness of the relief they seek.

Expertise:

• Extensive Training conducting psychological evaluations for immigration applications from Physicians for Human Rights and King Clinical and Education Services.

Psychological Evaluations Different from Other Therapists

• Evaluations take place where the client is the most comfortable whether that be their home, virtually or in an office setting.

• Concise, comprehensive reports that include information that immigration officials look for when making decisions about a client’s application.

• Trained in the Istanbul Protocol for forensic evaluations, which is the gold standard for Asylum petitions.

• Bi-lingual and bicultural

• Assessments can be completed in either English or Spanish

• For clients who speak another language, I provide a qualified interpreter free of charge to facilitate communication between myself and the client.

Discussing traumatic and stressful experiences can be overwhelming, and I want my clients to feel as safe and as comfortable as possible during this process.

I understand that psychological evaluations can be costly, and I am committed to supporting immigrants of all backgrounds in their relief process. To that end, I offer income-based sliding scale fees for those who may need extra assistance. 

All clients will be given a concise and comprehensive report detailing the evaluation to include in their immigration application. These reports have demonstrated success in helping clients obtain the relief they seek.
