Dora is really helping me during the most challenging time in my life. I find her very easy to talk to. I’m very thankful for the convenience of therapy without having to physically go into an office.

I am beyond grateful to have had a therapist like Dora. Her guidance to overcoming Infidelity and to learn how to forgive has challenged me in many ways! I strongly recommend Dora! She's the most genuine yet so soft spoken person! - Thank You Dora!
