I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a PhD in Professional Counseling. I create space for compassion and empathy. Knowing the client is the professional in their life. Together we build an inclusive space where the client can explore their needs and set healthy expectations.
I specialize in addressing issues such as intergenerational trauma, acculturation stress, social anxiety, depression, and relationship dynamics. Drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT). I tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each client.
“Together, we can navigate the complexities of life and create a path toward healing and empowerment and learn how to make healthy choices for yourself.” – Dr. Mary Lou Torrez
