Immigration and Legal Psychological Evaluations

Immigration Evaluations

I offer comprehensive immigration evaluations designed to meet legal standards while honoring each client’s lived experience. These reports are clear, detailed, and rooted in cultural humility and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help clients and their attorneys present compelling, clinically sound documentation that supports their immigration case.

I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, BIPOC clients, and immigrants who have faced persecution, rejection, or systemic discrimination. My evaluations are not only diagnostic but also narrative—they help clients tell their story in a way that connects psychological experience with legal relevance.

Types of Evaluations Offered:

• Asylum Evaluations – Documenting the psychological impact of persecution, trauma, and displacement.
• Hardship Waivers (I-601 / I-601A) – Assessing emotional and psychological hardship faced by qualifying family members if separation occurs.
• U-Visa Evaluations – Supporting survivors of crime who have cooperated with law enforcement.
• T-Visa Evaluations – Addressing trauma and recovery in cases involving human trafficking.
• VAWA Evaluations – Providing compassionate assessments for survivors of intimate partner violence.
• Cancellation of Removal Evaluations – Highlighting the impact of deportation on families and communities.

Each evaluation includes a clinical interview, psychological assessment (when appropriate), and a thorough written report tailored to the legal criteria of the case. I also offer professional translation services when needed to ensure accuracy and accessibility.

Why Attorneys and Clients Choose My Practice

• Extensive Forensic Background – Years of experience conducting forensic interviews, risk assessments, and court reports.
• Collaborative Approach – I work closely with attorneys to ensure evaluations meet evidentiary standards while maintaining clinical integrity.

Legal System Support

In addition to immigration evaluations, I also provide therapy and evaluations for individuals involved in the legal system, including:

• Post-incarceration reintegration
• Probation compliance
• Court-mandated therapy or assessment

These services emphasize accountability, healing, and personal growth while fulfilling legal requirements.

A Holistic, Human-Centered Practice

Every evaluation is more than a document — it’s an opportunity to help someone be seen and understood.
I believe in bridging the gap between psychology and the legal system by bringing forward each client’s story with dignity, clarity, and care.
