Your life is valuable, it has meaning and impact on the world around you.
Your life is valuable, it has meaning and impact on the world around you.
And yet, sometimes life makes it hard to feel that way. Patterns are hard to break, our history can feel overwhelming, and circumstances we never asked for can leave us feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of where to turn.
Anxiety, depression, ADHD and the resulting communication challenges these issues can create are common concerns that my clients face. Attachment, trauma and rediscovering yourself following difficult relationships or loss are other areas where I offer support. Wherever you are in your journey, you are not alone.
A therapist can empower you to create change, to find hope and strength to move forward. I have had the opportunity and the privilege of being that therapist for many individuals over the past 17 years. I hope to offer you the same support, encouragement, and tangible tools I have offered others.
My approach is holistic and systemic — incorporating the daily impacts of what's happening in the world around us. For clients who are interested, I also offer faith-based therapy as an additional layer of support alongside traditional mental health care.
Whether you are struggling with trauma, mental health challenges, or simply searching for more hope and direction, you don't have to do it alone. I am here to help you navigate a path towards hope and healing. If you're ready to take that next step, reach out today for a free consultation! I look forward to connecting with you.

About the Therapist

Having over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, Dori's most recent passion project, Charis Life Consulting allows her to serve her community in her own unique way.

Dori and her husband are adopted parents of a beautiful child from China. As mother to both her daughter and a rambunctious little pup, Dori spends the majority of her personal time outside of work parenting her (human and dog) kids.

Like many others, Dori discovered her neurodiverse identity later in life during adulthood. Dori lives with a little "extra spice" of ADHD, and brings her experience with the neurodiverse brain into her work with clients.
