Benefits of an Immigration Psychological Evaluation
A thorough Immigration Psychological Evaluation will provide powerful, objective evidence to strengthen an immigration case by documenting trauma, demonstrating hardship, and establishing credibility. My role is to ensure that the client’s history and the psychological impact underlying it are clearly assessed and accurately documented with both clinical objectivity and an empathic lens. Using this approach, I can provide a nuanced understanding that helps humanize the client’s story for immigration authorities while maintaining professional credibility. I work with youth ages 15+ and adults.
Navigating the immigration process can be complex and emotionally challenging for your clients. The client’s safety, privacy, and comfort throughout the process are my priority. Using a trauma-based approach and evidence-based assessment techniques, I have the ability to gather and synthesize detailed information about the client’s history, trauma, and psychological functioning and document how it is relevant to their Immigration case.
​
I bring years of experience in crisis work, case management, therapy, and evaluations, working with populations that have both experienced trauma and committed crimes. My ongoing professional development includes a trauma-informed care certification, evidence-based interviewing techniques and I have received specialized training in performing Immigration Psychological Evaluations. ​
