VAWA & Trauma-Informed Evaluations: What Survivors Should Expect

A compassionate guide to VAWA psychological evaluations and what survivors can expect during the assessment.


You Deserve Safety and Support

VAWA cases are deeply personal. Survivors come in carrying wounds that may be emotional, physical, spiritual, or all of the above. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, believed, and safe.


Your story matters — and your evaluation should reflect the full truth of your experience.
