Hi, I’m Dominique, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Substance Abuse Counselor. I've worked with adults navigating substance use concerns, anxiety, relationships, identity, and major life changes for almost a decade. My approach is real, compassionate, and culturally aware. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation that helps you grow, not a clinical checklist.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


Life can get heavy, and sometimes you get to a point where you know something needs to change, you just may not know where to start. That’s where I can help. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, grief, major life changes, or just trying to make sense of everything you’ve been carrying, we can work through it together.

I work with children, teens, and adults, with a special passion for supporting at-risk youth, justice-involved individuals, and people who may feel like they’ve been judged, misunderstood, or overlooked. You don’t have to come into therapy with the right words or have everything figured out. Come as you are. We’ll start there and work toward where you want to be.

I'm excited to support you in your mental wellness journey! I have lived experience with birth trauma and mental health issues. I love kids and mommies! I see moms who are pregnant and postpartum up to 2 years. I also see children ages birth to 17. For infants and toddlers, parents or caregivers are present because the treatment focus is the relationship between them, not just the child.
