LMFT, 12 years of experience
Counseling service is like having a personal trainer in the gym for our mind muscle; individually tailored guidance doesn’t hurt. We all have ups and downs in our life, work, family, relationships, and I'm here to support you through the things that are messy, challenging, and confusing with a safe space for you to just be yourself with no judgements. Let me join your journey of figuring-out, growing, healing, shining and thriving, and make the full access to life experiences with joy of living come true. I offer a free 15 minute consultation call. Feel free to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you.
In our first meeting together, we will start with brief introductions, including ourselves and what therapy looks like. It is a safe space to share, explore, and ask questions. We will step into the challenges and concerns at the pace you feel comfortable and come up with a direction to go from there together.
Are you in a relationship that feels stale and disconnected? Communication starting with good intentions but somehow ends up with argument that goes nowhere, saying everything is fine while it's not and all blows up during a conflict, so on and so forth. Relationship is not easy, but when it's good, it's so rewarding. I specialize at helping couples to notice the nuances in their communication and get to the hearts of what's happening with the tension, distance, and frustration in the relationship. I support couples to tune back to the same channel and frequency, to feel heard, seen, understood, and accepted as they are, feel connected and bonded in their couple bubble, and get the spark back in their relationship.
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, couples, and families from all walks of life with diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and marriage counseling through the lens of attachment styles, developmental neuroscience, childhood and family of origin exploration.

Doris has a special power that can touch my feelings in a mysterious way. When I have trouble communicating emotions into words, she helps put things in perspective and understand things better. She is great at identifying underlying issues and addressing them in a tasteful and productive way to help give tools to solve future issues. Doris is kind and genuine. I’m glad to have her as my therapist.
