About Dominic
Dominic is a queer, non-binary clinician who uses they/she pronouns and welcomes clients from the QT+ community. They focus on helping people heal from past harms, build greater self-esteem, and develop practical coping skills so daily life feels more manageable. Their work commonly addresses trauma and abuse, social anxiety and phobia, sexuality, and questions about life purpose.
Approachable and collaborative by nature, Dominic emphasizes partnership with each client to define goals and chart a path forward. They are committed to strengthening inner confidence while addressing the immediate challenges that bring people to therapy. Dominic offers flexible session formats to fit varied needs and schedules and is dedicated to supporting clients as they move toward the life they want to build.
Trauma-Informed and Affirmative Online Therapy
Dominic draws on evidence-based approaches tailored to trauma and identity-related concerns. Trauma-informed care focuses on understanding and processing past harm while minimizing overwhelm, and it can be helpful for people coping with post-traumatic stress, abuse, or lingering effects of difficult experiences. Affirmative therapy centers a client’s sexual and gender identity, offering validation and practical strategies for navigating sexuality, social anxiety, and self-love challenges. Skills-based coping strategies teach concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, and life transitions, helping clients build routines and responses that reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominic works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most useful.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Dominic provides flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Online sessions make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations, and they support ongoing work between appointments through messaging and varied session formats.
