He earned a Bachelor of Social Work in 2020 and completed a Master of Social Work in 2022.

With over five years of experience, Dominque has worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families across outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP) settings. His clinical work supports people navigating stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship concerns, boundary challenges, and major life transitions.
Dominque approaches therapy as both encouraging and goal-oriented. He aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what they are going through, while also emphasizing accountability and follow-through. He helps clients examine patterns, take responsibility for choices, and practice new skills between sessions so progress continues outside the therapy room.

He may incorporate evidence-based tools and assessments to help keep treatment focused and to monitor growth in a practical, measurable way.
Outside of his professional work, he enjoys traveling, especially to Florida, following Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and spending time with family and friends. Dominque views starting therapy as a courageous step and works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, build on strengths, and develop a clear plan for meaningful change.
