About me
As a licensed therapist in multiple states. I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex transitions and challenges. My practice centers on empowering women, couples, and families navigating significant personal and relational shifts. With extensive experience addressing mood disorders, communication challenges, and multicultural concerns, I offer compassionate, culturally responsive care.
My approach integrates deep understanding of family dynamics, workplace stress, and personal growth. I'm particularly passionate about supporting women through critical life stages—including pregnancy, postpartum experiences, midlife transitions, and relationship transformations. Drawing from bilingual expertise, I create inclusive, affirming therapeutic spaces that honor each person's unique journey.
I believe in collaborative healing, helping clients develop resilience, rediscover purpose, and build meaningful connections. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, seeking personal growth, or navigating complex family dynamics, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Doreen listens well and is open to suggestions. She also gives great advice but it’s not tunnel vision advice. She thinks of several different objective outside the box views. I appreciate her approach as a Godly salt of the Earth shining light!
Keep up the good work!
