Are you or your client navigating a complex immigration process and in need of a mental health evaluation? I provide compassionate, trauma-informed immigration evaluations designed to meet legal standards and support individuals and families during one of the most challenging times in their lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Assistant Director at Pivots Potential, a trauma center offering integrative healing services. I hold licenses in five states to include Texas, New Mexico, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia and offer virtual evaluations to make services more accessible to clients and attorneys nationwide.

With nearly a decade of clinical experience in correctional facilities, social service agencies, and telehealth platforms, I’ve assessed and supported individuals facing trauma, complex family dynamics, substance use, and crisis situations. My approach integrates traditional therapy methods with evidence-based modalities including Eye Movement Integration (EMI), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed care.

I have received advanced training in immigration evaluations through Georgia King and have completed hundreds of detailed, legally sound mental health evaluations. I am currently expanding my practice to include a variety of immigration cases, including:

  • Asylum

  • VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)

  • U-Visas & T-Visas

  • Hardship Waivers (I-601/I-601A)

  • Cancellation of Removal

I have extensive experience working with survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, torture, and persecution, and I am deeply committed to cultural humility and inclusivity. I’ve worked with clients from Latin America, West Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, and understand the importance of honoring diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in both clinical and legal settings.

In addition to my clinical work, I have collaborated closely with attorneys, providing evaluations and supplemental documentation for court hearings and legal proceedings. My reports are thorough, well-organized, and typically completed within 10–15 business days. Rush services are available upon request.

Whether you're an individual in need of an evaluation or an attorney seeking a reliable clinical partner, I’m here to help. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your story can be told with dignity, accuracy, and care.
