When making changes, we have to look further than what’s visible on the surface. I work by helping you better understand how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, along with external forces, impact your day-to-day life. My style is warm, interactive, and empowering. Empathy is essential to our sessions, and I teach patients to treat themselves compassionately. I treat individuals with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma, and depression. I work with couples to learn more conscious, intimate, and attuned ways of being in partnership and better understand their conflicts. Examining our relationships, belief systems, past experiences, and behaviors clarifies where certain thoughts and behavior patterns come from. We can make different choices when we have a deeper understanding of ourselves. Using a psychodynamic lens, I help individuals and couples to create deep, meaningful changes within themselves and their lives. Curiosity is our greatest tool in untangling old storylines and changing the harmful beliefs we hold. I believe that growth, change, and healing can involve joy, empathy, and compassion. Let’s work together to create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

Has your life taken a sharp, unexpected turn at a terrible time? Or maybe you just feel yourself drifting off the path you're traveling and are having difficulty getting back on track. Your vision may be cloudy and that can intensify the amount of distress you feel in your pursuit to returning to your previous level of functioning. What can be even scarier is not knowing when exactly you lost control of the steering wheel or who to rely on in your time of need. Sharing your stressors during an emotionally fragile time is intimidating! I offer warmth, patience, and empathy in my pursuit towards building your trust. Once your hesitancy towards the therapeutic process eases, I look forward to helping you recognize how you can be an agent of change in your own life. I will help you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are contributing to your presenting concerns. Together we will work towards gaining insight and emotional relief by creating personalized goals that match your comfort level at your pace. Phone consultations are welcome to discuss your specific questions and needs.

I believe having clarity about the WHY you do, say, and think the way you do begins with denying the narrative that you are too “booked and busy” to peel back those layers of your identity hidden from the world. These are the parts of us that both consciously and unconsciously influence our daily interactions, and keep us conditioned to believe we have to negotiate space rather than command it! Your joy, dreams, and purpose matter, so less pouring from an empty cup and more claiming the life you deserve! I'm Dr. Dominique, a Licensed Psychologist at The Black Girl Doctor, and if any of this resonates with you I'd love to connect! I specialize in creating a safe space to slay self-doubt by changing the narrative. Why? Because we are what we say and what we think! Integrating evidenced based treatment with a short term, strength based, and culturally informed approach, we will laugh, explore, and unpack. We will discuss underlying beliefs, generational traumas, and internalized oppression that keep you from achieving your desires. My aim is to empower you to become your own #goals by being intentional and accountable as the best version of yourself at home, work, and in relationships!

I work well with most people, especially members of sexual, ethnic or other minorities, creative types, people of mixed race or orientation, those who are not easily categorized and don't wish to be. Many of my clients are original thinkers working in creative fields. My work is connecting with you: that's how new ideas and possibilities arise.

Since therapy with me should encourage and give you confidence to master future challenges, you schedule only as many sessions as you find helpful.

Being human is hard; that is an undeniable fact. Life is full of immense joy and gut wrenching heartache, high highs and low lows. I wholeheartedly believe that one of the most powerful benefits of being engaged in therapy is that you don’t have to face life alone. People are wired for connection and it is my mission for my clients to feel seen, heard, and deeply cared for in my presence. I work with adult individuals and couples to explore where they are in life, how they got there, and where they would like to go. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and relational, exploring both the roots of emotions, behaviors, and patterns, while also working with the here and now. I use humor, curiosity, and unconditional positive regard to foster an environment where clients can explore their most vulnerable parts, experience healing, and create movement in their lives. I utilize EMDR therapy when indicated to treat a range of mental health symptoms congruent with trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and grief. EMDR therapy can also be used to explore future oriented dreams and goals. My approach to couples work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy increasing empathic attunement and connection within relationships.

Are you constantly “on”, saying yes to everything and everyone? Do you feel like despite how many accomplishments you achieve, it will never be enough? Do you sense the need to slow down, say no, set boundaries, but often doubt yourself? Do you appear calm outside, but inside there's a storm of anxiety and insecurity? Does this disconnect you from yourself and others? Are you often dismissive of these behaviors, thinking “They can’t be that bad; they’ve gotten me this far”? And it’s true, they’re not bad. You had to push past your needs and adapt to the demands of your childhood. Despite the trauma, you’ve survived and you want to finally prioritize yourself.

What would it be like to see yourself more clearly? If you struggle with old emotional patterns, it may show up now in all kinds of ways! You may be feeling like you're not "enough," finding it difficult to make room for life outside of you being the overachiever, or just not knowing who you actually are. These conflicts may also show up in your body, as well as in the way you treat it. Maybe you have headaches, chronic lower back pain, difficulty nourishing yourself, or have a fraught relationship with how you look. We collaborate and figure out how to make you an active participant in your healing and get you back in your life. View 4 Photos Couple’s therapy is becoming more of a “first resort” than a “last resort.” If you are experiencing early relationship conflict after just moving into together or meeting each other’s families, we work to help identify and articulate the emotions underneath those conflicts (EFT- Emotionally Focused Therapy) and learn how to show up better for each other. I strongly believe in the healing power of in-person therapy. Before I became a therapist, I was a Pilates instructor for close to 20 years. The body tells a story, and therapy gives us the tools to be able to articulate that story. I’d love to meet you in person and hear your story.
