About me

I am licensed in Minnesota with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, coping with life changes, & navigating traumatic experiences. I also enjoy working with Neurodivergences. I believe in building a trusting and safe relationship with my clients and working together towards the life YOU want to lead using evidenced-based, therapeutic support. I consider all the various aspects of human well-being including the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational selves.
​
I love laughing especially with my friends and family. I enjoy a well-written memoir or novel, various crafting and art mediums, making spaces around me calm, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing, and eating really good food.​

You are the expert of your story and I believe that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take those next steps. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Really wonderful and caring person. Very easy to talk to, because you can tell she really listens to you and is invested in your journey. I appreciate when she challenges my thoughts and assumptions.

Dora has been a breath of fresh air! In the first ten minutes of chatting in our first session, she noticed things in me that a myriad of other professionals had not over the years - and it gave me the greatest sense of peace and also like someone finally got me! She is easy to talk to, kind, patient, and has wonderful ideas. I am so grateful to her!

She gives me a safe space to tell her about things and sometimes in doing so I figure out how something relates that I otherwise would have missed. She makes really great observations and asks excellent questions. All of these things help me shift perspective and handle things better over time.

We only had one session so far but I already appreciate her so much. She seems to know the questions to ask to get me thinking.
