Licensed Psychologist · New York Attorney
Where Psychology and Immigration Law Meet
Clear, compassionate, forensic evaluations for complex cases.
Welcome
A forensic approach, grounded in calm
Hi, I’m Jacqueline, a licensed psychologist and a New York–licensed attorney specializing in forensic immigration psychological evaluations. My work brings together trauma-informed clinical care and legal precision, shaped by my early training at the Touro Law Center Immigration Law Clinic, where I first learned how essential clear, well-supported documentation is in immigration matters.
I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for:
Hardship (I-601 / I-601A)
VAWA
U-Visa
T-Visa
Asylum
My approach is calm, structured, and designed to support both clients and attorneys through complex immigration cases.
A Forensic Approach Informed by Legal Training
Reports attorneys can rely on
Because I am both a psychologist and a licensed New York attorney, my evaluations integrate five disciplines that rarely sit together in one report.
- Trauma-informed interviewing
- Evidence-based clinical assessment
- Legally relevant analysis
- Organized, attorney-ready documentation
- USCIS-aligned forensic standards
Attorneys rely on my reports for their clarity, depth, and strong evidentiary value. Clients appreciate the steady, supportive environment I provide throughout the process.
Supportive, Trauma-Informed Care
A process designed to feel safe
Immigration cases often involve difficult experiences: family separation, chronic stress, or trauma. My evaluation process is designed to help clients feel safe, understood, and grounded while gathering the information needed for a strong legal case.
I also offer limited therapy appointments, including clinical hypnosis, for adults seeking structured, evidence-based support with anxiety, trauma, and significant life stressors.

Licensure & Jurisdiction
Compliant by design
To maintain clinical, legal, and ethical standards, I work with:
- Clients physically located in states where I am authorized to practice
- Licensed U.S. immigration attorneys who refer clients directly
This ensures compliance with state licensing laws, PSYPACT regulations, HIPAA, and forensic practice guidelines.
