About me

Hi, I’m Dominique, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by years of work in health promotion, health coaching, cancer coaching, and tobacco cessation, as well as by my own experiences with cancer, endometriosis, infertility, and IVF.

While every person’s story is different, these experiences have given me a personal appreciation for how quickly life can shift, and for the uncertainty, grief, identity changes, and difficult decisions that can come with health and reproductive challenges.

Those experiences deepened my interest in how we as human beings, adapt when life does not go as planned, how we make sense of difficult seasons, and what helps us stay connected to ourselves and to what matters most.

My approach is grounded primarily in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and is also relational, existential, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy should feel both meaningful and deeply human. Like you are talking to a trusted confidant. A place where you can feel understood, explore honestly, notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop greater flexibility in how you respond to life.

Outside of work, I love being outdoors, going for cold dips in our pond, moving my body in ways that feel good and calming, creative projects, and spending time with my family, friends and animals. I’ve become someone who appreciates a slower pace, often disconnecting from our digital world and taking moments to notice and feel connected to my body, my nervous system and my surroundings.

If you are thoughtful, curious about yourself, and ready to do some meaningful work, let’s connect.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is an evidence-based, action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that helps you learn how to drop the struggle with difficult emotions, clarify what is most important to you, and take steps towards what matters.

ACT can help you develop psychological flexibility — the ability to stay present, make room for difficult thoughts and emotions, and choose how you want to respond based on your core values rather than reacting out of fear or habit.

Rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, ACT focuses on changing your relationship with those experiences, clarifying your values, and taking meaningful action in that direction.

We don’t have to wait for the storm to pass to begin moving toward what matters.
