LCSW, 16 years of experience
You are worthy of this work and I am so glad you are reaching out for therapy! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychosocial Dynamics Theory and other modalities to help you find meaningful advances toward the progress you are seeking. I have worked with individuals and families for over 15 years as a social worker and specialize in Solution Focused Outcomes because I want you to have practical ways to apply the forward movement you desire in your life, career, family and relationships. I have both my Bachelor and Master degrees in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University and graduated in 2005. I come from a multicultural background and have a multiracial family who are a part of a proud LGBTQ+ community, so I understand the dynamics that go into working daily to support each other where we are now while continuing to grow together. I hope my experience both professionally and personally will give insight as we journey together. Let me know how I can help!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow up sessions and give you some concrete take away's to implement.
I look forward to focusing on what helps you work through daily challenges and recognizing the resilience that's deep within all of us.

Really enjoyed our first session. She’s very easy to talk to. I’ll be scheduling another with her.

She has a wonderful way of helping process thoughts and connecting the dots. Made it very easy to open up to her.

I had an amazing session with Jarah Torrez-Williams. It felt really good to finally share my trauma with someone who truly listened and understood where I was coming from. She created a safe and open space, and I felt completely comfortable being honest with her. Jarah validated so many of the challenges I’ve been facing, and that meant so much to me. Hands down, one of the best therapists I’ve ever worked with. I’m truly looking forward to my next session.
CBT can be helpful in addressing the root cause behind many of the emotions, reactions and behaviors that at times drives us to do what we do.
