Hi there, I'm Dorothy!

I work with individuals, first responders, and couples struggling with communication and disconnection. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, grief, panic, PTSD, trauma, and addiction using proven approaches that reduce symptoms and help you reconnect with yourself and others.

My focus

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I help couples increase connection through healthy communication techniques and strategies. I also specialize in supporting first responders and parents navigating their children's behavior issues.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify struggles, develop awareness and acceptance, and build effective coping strategies. I also use Psychodynamic and EMDR Therapy to address deeper negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
