Hi, I’m Dominic, a Doctoral Intern. As a therapist, I am gentle, curious, and patient. I view myself as a collaborator who offers insight and compassion in the therapist-client relationship. My sessions are laidback as I invite and encourage authenticity. If this is what you’re looking for, please reach out to schedule an appointment.

Self Scheduling
I have a history of collaborating with clients wanting to learn how to process their trauma amidst a continuously marginalizing environment. Additionally, I have extensive experience with promoting authenticity within intersections of queerness and Autism.
Clients have shared the feeling that the space we cultivate is genuinely non-judgmental, warm, and safe. Clients have left our relationship feeling more comfortable with authenticity and prepared to tackle relationships in a more personal and effective way.
As we begin, clients are welcome to divulge as much or as little information as they feel comfortable sharing. We will create loose goals for therapy, with the understanding that therapy (like life) is an everchanging journey.
