As a licensed therapist in Oregon, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience to supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life experiences, with specialized expertise in depression, addiction recovery, relationship dynamics, trauma healing, and self-esteem development.

I strive to provide a non-judgmental space where clients can authentically explore their experiences and develop transformative strategies for emotional well-being.

Dori helped me save myself from a narcissistic marriage. I’m grateful for her insight when I was experiencing it and it helped me leave my ex wife. Some of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made but also the most rewarding.

Dori was such a help to me, just when I needed her. She listened compassionately, respond clearly and honestly, and helped me to articulate and address issues I'd been neglecting and denying for many years. I'm forever grateful for her assistance.
