As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in sunny Florida, I bring years of experience supporting adults through life transitions, mental health challenges, and periods of emotional overwhelm. I earned my Master’s degree from Florida International University and have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and major life changes. I am deeply committed in helping individuals reclaim their lives, overcome life difficulties, and discover their fullest potential.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions about it. In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other in a relaxed, supportive space where you can share at your own pace, there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy, any current challenges you’re facing, and what you’d like to get out of this process. I’ll also answer any questions you have so you can feel comfortable and confident moving forward. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
As a therapist, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to form genuine connections with my clients and create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment. I am deeply empathetic and strive to understand my clients' experiences from their perspective, fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and validation. Additionally, I approach therapy with a collaborative mindset, working alongside my clients to identify their strengths, values, and goals, and empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives. I am also committed to ongoing learning and growth, regularly seeking out new knowledge and techniques to enhance my clinical skills and effectiveness. Overall, I am passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges and find greater peace, fulfillment, and resilience.
On the outside, it may look like you’re managing everything but inside, you feel overwhelmed, drained, or stuck. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, or a life transition that’s left you feeling uncertain and stretched thin. Keeping up with responsibilities, relationships, and expectations can feel exhausting, especially when it seems like you have to carry it all alone. Over time, that weight can build, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of how to move forward. I offer a supportive space where you can feel understood, begin to process what you’re going through, and finally have room to breathe.

Still the absolute best therapist I have been able to work with. Dominique is so kind, and makes the work of processing trauma feel so much easier/less scary. Its like having a good friend be alongside you in hard times. I 1000% will always recommend her.
