Dorothy is a Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about working with clients to bring restoration and healing to emotional, relational, and spiritual wounds. Dorothy received her Masters degree from Western Seminary in San Jose, California. In her many roles in the addiction and recovery field, Dorothy found joy and hope in partnering with people from a wide variety of ages and backgrounds.

Dorothy integrates a number of different clinical approaches, including psycho-dynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She is passionate about how advances in neuroscience can inform treatment, and she is fascinated by how our minds and bodies are designed to regulate emotions through relationship. She helps clients discover how emotional wounds and broken patterns begin with the primary attachments made in infancy and childhood. Dorothy loves to invite God into the therapeutic space, being sensitive to how the client leads.

Outside of her professional life, Dorothy loves to garden, read, spend time in nature, and exercise.
