About

Cultivating Strength, Seeking The Sun

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed psychotherapist in Illinois. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I now specialize in providing clinical evaluations for immigration cases, including hardship visas, U visas, T visas, political asylum, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), extreme hardship waivers, and cancellation of removal cases. My deep commitment to the immigrant community drives my practice; I am here to offer not just support, but a robust foundation for your legal needs.
