VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)
My VAWA evaluations provide a detailed clinical analysis of the psychological and emotional impact of domestic violence, battery, or extreme cruelty. The report I provide explains how your client's experiences align with the psychological profile of a victim of abuse. This includes an assessment of how the abuse has impacted their mental health, their ability to leave the relationship, and their overall functioning.
I currently provide the following Immigration evaluations-
01
Hardship
With hardship evaluations, I will document the extreme and unusual psychological and emotional hardship that a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident would face if a family member were deported. I provide a comprehensive report that details the emotional, physical, and financial consequences of separation, supported by clinical findings that demonstrate why the hardship is far beyond what's typically expected.
02
Asylum
My asylum evaluations offer a comprehensive psychological assessment of the trauma your client has experienced. I provide a detailed report that corroborates your client's claims by documenting symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions. I will establish a clear connection between their mental health symptoms and the persecution they endured, strengthening their asylum claim.
03
T-Visa
For T-Visa evaluations, I provide a clinical narrative that documents the psychological impact of severe forms of human trafficking. My report will help establish your client's credibility as a victim and explains the psychological factors—such as fear, shame, or trauma bonding—that may have prevented them from leaving the trafficking situation or from immediately cooperating with law enforcement.

Mental Health Assessments
I provide comprehensive evaluations that delve into the psychological factors at play in your case. This isn't just about a diagnosis; it's about providing a nuanced and objective perspective on an individual's mental state, cognitive functioning, and behavior. My evaluations are grounded in extensive clinical experience and a thorough understanding of the legal system, ensuring they meet the highest standards of admissibility and credibility in court.
01
Substance Abuse Assessments
My evaluations go beyond simple drug tests, exploring an individual's history with substances, current use patterns, and the specific impact on their behavior and decision-making. My reports can be invaluable in criminal cases for sentencing mitigation or eligibility for drug court, in family law for assessing a parent's substance use and its effect on parenting abilities, or in civil litigation to determine if substance use contributed to an accident or impaired a person's judgment.
02
DUI Assessments
I offer an in-depth analysis of the individual's drinking or drug use patterns, the potential for a substance use disorder, and the direct impact these factors had on their driving behavior.
03
Violence Risk Assessments
For cases where the potential for future harm is a central issue, a forensic violence risk assessment provides the evidence-based analysis you need. My assessments are not simple predictions. I utilize standardized, empirically-supported tools and a thorough review of an individual's history to provide a structured evaluation of their risk for future violence.
