What to Expect

Healing Relationships and Breaking Unhealthy Patterns

Relationships can bring out our deepest joys—but also our most painful wounds. No matter how much you and your partner love each other, the same painful arguments may keep happening, leaving you feeling frustrated, unseen, or questioning whether your relationship can truly work. Or maybe you’re struggling with dating, finding yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns, attracting the wrong partners, or wondering if real connection is even possible for you.

Dorothy’s approach helps you untangle these cycles—not by placing blame, but by offering clarity, transformation, and practical tools to foster deep emotional healing. She helps clients understand their emotional responses, communicate their needs with confidence, and build relationships where they feel safe, valued, and chosen.

A Deeper Approach to Therapy

Dorothy’s work goes beyond surface-level insight. She emphasizes extended therapy sessions and intensives, moving past the constraints of the traditional 50-minute session to allow for deeper exploration, healing, and integration. These longer sessions create space to process emotions fully, settle into meaningful work at a comfortable pace, and make lasting shifts in how you relate to yourself and others.

Whether you’re working through an emotional block, rewiring old patterns, or exploring something deeply vulnerable, extended sessions support real, embodied change—so you don’t just understand what’s happening logically, but actually start to feel different.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Therapy with Dorothy is a space where healing happens, insight deepens, and transformation begins.

Trauma Healing with EMDR and Brainspotting

Healing Trauma at Its Root

Trauma can leave you feeling stuck—trapped in painful memories, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that seem impossible to break. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting offer powerful ways to heal, helping you move past distressing experiences and find relief. These evidence-based, somatic approaches work directly with the nervous system, bypassing overthinking and going straight to the part of the brain where trauma is stored. This allows you to process pain in a way that feels natural and freeing, rather than re-triggering or overwhelming.

A Safe and Supportive Approach to Healing

Dorothy understands that healing from trauma isn’t just about understanding what happened—it’s about truly feeling different. Her approach blends deep emotional work with practical tools to help clients feel grounded, heard, and safe as they navigate the healing process. Whether through EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, or parts work, she meets each person where they are, gently guiding them at a pace that feels right.

Couples Counseling with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Breaking the Cycle and Rebuilding Connection

No matter how much love and care exists in a relationship, partners can find themselves stuck in painful cycles of conflict, frustration, and disconnection. Dorothy specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-backed approach that helps couples identify and change the patterns that keep them feeling distant, unseen, or unheard. Through EFT, she guides couples to move beyond blame and misunderstanding, fostering trust, emotional security, and deeper intimacy.

A Compassionate and Inclusive Approach

As a Certified EFT Therapist, Dorothy is passionate about helping all couples—whether married, unmarried, bicultural, LGBTQIA+, interracial, or international—build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. She creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where both partners feel heard and supported, working collaboratively to repair emotional bonds. By shifting the focus from conflict to connection, couples can move from feeling stuck to feeling secure, valued, and truly understood.

Extended Sessions and Therapy Intensives

More Time, Deeper Healing

Dorothy understands that true healing takes time—and that the traditional 50-minute therapy session often isn’t enough to fully process emotions, integrate insights, and create lasting change. That’s why she offers extended 80-minute sessions in addition to regular session length, with the option for longer, immersive 2-3 hour intensives tailored to each client’s needs. These extended sessions provide the freedom to slow down, settle into the work, and process deeply without feeling rushed. Whether working through trauma, relationship challenges, or personal growth, clients can move at a pace that feels natural and effective.

Therapy Intensives for Faster, Focused Progress

For those wanting accelerated healing, Dorothy also offers trauma therapy intensives—multiple extended sessions in a week, either back-to-back or spread across several days. This approach allows clients to make rapid progress, complete more therapy work in a shorter time, and avoid the start-stop feeling of weekly sessions. Intensives are particularly helpful for EMDR, Brainspotting, and couples therapy, where deeper emotional work benefits from uninterrupted time and space. By customizing session length and frequency, Dorothy helps clients maximize the effectiveness of therapy while ensuring a supportive, client-centered experience.
