Whether in my forensic immigration and criminal practice or in my psychotherapeutic and behavioral work, I focus on participating in a holistic, individualized approach together with each client and anyone they wish. With the belief that "We already have everything," I help clients start where they are, as they uncover their unique strengths, needs and history. I believe deeply in self-determination and personal expertise. I view our work as a dynamic, active process and work with each person to understand and express even seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and help facilitate a process of personal transformation and hope.
My immigration practice includes psychological evaluations, referrals, counseling, and crisis intervention.I am valued by attorneys for identifying key immigration issues including, hardship, Adam Walsh, political asylum, spousal abuse, and humanitarian reinstatement. I help clients understand the evidentiary requirements and facilitate data collection.
Trained in clinical and forensic assessment at Yale School of Medicine, NYU, and The Legal Aid Society, I am known for reversing negative outcomes in the most challenging cases. With expertise also in developmental disabilities, my reports have secured educational services for children.
