Meet Doreen

Welcome. You don’t have to navigate stress, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, or OCD on your own. I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where we focus on real change. Together, we create a personalized treatment plan to help you start feeling better and functioning more confidently. I am warm, engaged, and compassionate while also being honest and active in guiding meaningful forward steps. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and ERP, along with other strategies, to build skills, reduce distress, and foster a healthier, more peaceful life.

Together, we create a personalized treatment plan to help you start feeling better and functioning more confidently.
