I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York state. Since 2015, I’ve been helping my clients by providing them with high-quality psychosocial evaluations that supplement their navigation of the immigration system.

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) speaking clinician who maintains a private clinic in clinical and forensic psychosocial services in Newark, NJ and Brooklyn, NY.

​

My approach is collaborative, client centered, strength's based and solution oriented. Each client's immigration case is unique and sessions are tailored to the individual and/or family. I use a variety of techniques rooted in CBT, stress management,  mindfulness, and problem solving therapy to help clients cope and heal from traumatic stress disorders, depression, anxiety and psychological effects of interpersonal violence. I curate psychosocial evaluations for immigration related hearings including Political Asylum, VAWA, U-Visa, V-Visa and Waivers under 212 and I-601.
