I have been speaking to Dorothy for almost a month now. She has wonderful insights, great understanding, listens without discrimination and you can feel her genuine concern and care through her interactions. She is helping me with both my self-healing, which was my initial goal, but also recognized that I needed to work on my relationship and communication with my husband as well in order to help myself. She's an absolute gem and I'm grateful to be working with her.

Welcome! I am a marriage & family therapist with thirty years experience. I'm currently licensed in Oklahoma & Colorado but my original license was Connecticut. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including divorce & blended family issues, family conflict, marital & relationship problems, career challenges, anger management & stress & anxiety. Additionally, I earned my MBA, & consulted with companies & organizations on developing leadership & communication skills in their employees.
My therapy style is warm, compassionate & respectful. My approach predominantly combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, brief solution focused therapies. Therapy will be a collaboration with you specifying your treatment goal or goals. Your treatment will be tailored to fit your own unique needs.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kind and caring therapist. Great listener and great advice. Perfect for our couples' needs.
Dorothy is very patient and kind! She makes me feel that she listens to me and actually hears what I’m saying.
Dorothy has been attentive, compassionate, and professional through our two sessions (so far). She has offered support and solutions and I look forward to our sessions every time.
Dorothy is an incredible therapist with years of experience and has helped me immensely through the most difficult points in my life. Anyone would be lucky to be in her care!
Dorothy has been a tremendous help to me. She really shows that she listens, understands and finds helpful ways for me to get through my problems. I’m so grateful to that I found her.
Dorothy is easy to talk to. She grasped my issues quickly. She offered guidance immediately. She is authentic and empathetic. I will definitely talk to her again when I need help.
Dorothy has been an absolute gem in helping me discover myself and grow. She has ample ideas and is brilliant. I trust her!!
I'm horrible with tracking time, but I think I'm on my second week with Dorothy and she's honestly been the best therapist I have ever worked with (and I've worked with a lot of therapists). I feel like I'm learning, applying and adapting all at once with her guidance and questions. Honestly a really great reflective approach on her part. Look forward to continuing!
She s the best therapist I worked with. Highly recommended!
She is so sweet and very understanding as well as flexible!
