About me

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Missouri providing counseling regarding emotional, relational, career, and spiritual concerns. While my passion is marriage counseling, I have worked well with individual adults, teens, children, and families. It has been my privilege to work with a variety of ages regarding marriage/family/parenting concerns, peer pressure, anger management, anxiety disorders, learning disabilities, social awkwardness, bullying, self-esteem, depression, motivation, grief, moral character, life calling, and career exploration. I work from a Family Systems Theory perspective that integrates well with various modalities. I have been trained in play therapy and Cognitive/Behavioral techniques that are highly effective with children. It is my goal to have a positive impact on others by challenging them to reach for their highest potential in life.

Dorie has a great ability to listen, empathize and provide wisdom. She aligns her practices to be mindful of my preferences. She keeps in touch in between sessions and is compassionate. Thank you Dorie!

It is such a joy to talk to Dorie. She always speaks positively. She cares. She prays for you. The Bible states that when 2 or more are gathered in the Lord's name he will hear you. It has helped my brother who I was having trouble with. As well as helped me. There is something special about her that is hard to find in people. I like her. I need her. I pray that she is always safe and happy. Thank you for her.
