I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, California, offering telehealth services statewide and occasional in-person sessions based on local demand. My expertise spans a wide range of populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and elder adults. I focus on stress, anxiety, eating disorders, depression, pre- and post-pregnancy concerns, and couples/marriage therapy, with a specialized interest in ADHD and ARFID. My approach is integrative, tailoring services to each client’s unique needs and available resources.
My communication style is warm, engaging, and adaptable. I balance professional insight with humor, imagery, and analogies to make complex ideas more accessible. I integrate scientific research, studies, and relevant resources to provide clients with a deeper understanding of their circumstances. Authenticity is the foundation of my approach, and I strive to be intentional in every interaction. Above all, I am committed to helping clients cultivate new perspectives that lead to lasting personal growth.

I cultivate a safe and open space where clients feel heard and understood without fear of judgment. My approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Existential/Experiential learning, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients understand their experiences holistically. By considering the full perspective of an individual, I guide them in identifying areas for growth and overcoming obstacles that may hinder progress. My goal is to foster deeper self-awareness, empowering clients to take meaningful steps toward personal fulfillment.
I use REBT to help clients identify and challenge irrational beliefs, fostering emotional resilience and healthier thought patterns. By guiding individuals to gain self-awareness, I support them in developing more constructive ways to cope with life’s challenges.
For clients who seek a spiritual perspective, I incorporate faith-based elements into therapy. I provide a safe space for individuals to explore their beliefs, using them as a foundation for healing and personal growth.
I focus on empowering clients by emphasizing their inherent strengths and capabilities. By helping individuals recognize their personal assets, I encourage confidence and resilience, enabling them to navigate challenges effectively.
My existential approach centers on deep self-reflection, guiding clients to explore meaning, purpose, and personal responsibility. I help individuals address concerns related to identity, freedom, and life transitions, fostering greater self-understanding.
I combine various therapeutic methods to create a holistic and personalized experience. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring comprehensive care that supports the whole person.

Dom's approach to our couple's sessions has been knowledgable and insightful. We both have enjoyed feeling heard and have learned practical ways to solve our larger disagreements. Her honesty has helped us stay honest with ourselves. We highly recommend :)

Domonqe’s energy is so warm and inviting. It felt as if I was talking to my late mother. That sense of peace just radiated from her.
