Hi there, I'm Dominic!

Have you spent much of your life feeling different, misunderstood, or on the outside looking in? Many of my clients feel emotionally guarded, confused in their intimate relationships, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I offer an LGBTQ+ affirming space where you can show up without fear of judgment.

My focus

I work with adults navigating relationship challenges, betrayal, infidelity, compulsive sexual behaviors, substance use, and identity-related stress. Many of my clients are gay, LGBTQ+, or in non-monogamous relationships. I also support people experiencing anxiety, depression, shame, and self-esteem struggles connected to these concerns.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and focused on your internal strengths. I work from a trauma-informed, collaborative lens and draw from EMDR, CBT, Gottman Couples Therapy, and Parts Work to help you understand patterns and build practical tools for lasting change at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
