Hello and welcome! I’m Dominique, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (License # 56031) and Board Approved Supervisor with over 15 years of experience in social work. Originally from the Rio Grande Valley, I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from The University of Texas Pan American and my Master of Social Work from The University of Michigan. Throughout my career as a social worker, I've had the opportunity to support and assist children, adolescents, new parents, and families as they navigate their unique paths.
As your therapist, my aim is to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without the fear of stigma or shame. I firmly believe in the transformative power of cultivating meaningful connections with my clients to facilitate growth and healing. I am committed to advocating for social justice and liberation-oriented healing. As part of my ongoing journey, I continuously strive to deepen my understanding of the profound impacts of social injustice and structural oppression on mental health, and I integrate this awareness into the therapy space.
I am passionate about supporting individuals on their motherhood journey. Whether you're on the path to conception, pregnant, or in the postpartum period adjusting to your new role as a parent, I'm here to help you recognize your strengths and achieve your personal goals for well-being and growth. My dedication to perinatal and maternal/parental mental health is rooted in both personal and professional experiences. I understand firsthand the isolation, loneliness, and overwhelm that can accompany the journey to and through motherhood. As your therapist, I aim to be an unwavering support system during this vulnerable and transformative period, offering guidance, empathy, and encouragement every step of the way.
I invite you to embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth with me. Together, we will navigate life's obstacles and uncertainties with compassion and resilience, uncovering insights and strengths to guide you towards the fulfilling life you envision for yourself. You deserve to feel deeply seen, heard, and valued as your authentic self. Let's take this step forward together
