Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida, Texas, Virginia, Utah, Connecticut, and New Jersey. My practice, Arise Connections Counseling, is a registered entity in Texas, where I’m based.

As the son of Salvadoran immigrants, I understand the challenges and sacrifices that come with seeking a new beginning in the United States. That personal experience drives my passion for helping others through professional immigration evaluations.

I provide thorough, compassionate evaluations for hardship, asylum, and other immigration cases. I’ve completed specialized training with the Immigration Evaluation Institute and additional programs to ensure my reports meet the highest standards and capture the unique experiences of each client.

For many people, an evaluation is more than just a legal document—it’s a way to tell their story, advocate for themselves, and open the door to a new chapter of life. My goal is to approach every evaluation with empathy, and respect so clients feel understood throughout the process.

Disclaimer: I don't provide legal advise. Consult an Immigration attorney to verify if an evaluation would be beneficial for your case.
