Therapists in Salem, OR

I enjoy working with people who seek both short term solution-focused therapy and those who choose to pursue longer term goals of personality change in the context of depth psychology. There are truly many paths to achieving significant relief from symptoms of loss, depression, and anxiety or a change in one's personal situation. I view the therapeutic journey as Herodotus understood the original meaning of the word history (historous): not as a noun (i.e. a fixed thing) but a verb: literally to go and find out for one's self.

If you would like support while addressing: current stressors, pains, trauma, struggles, transitions, communication needs, healing from relationships, or identity I can help guide you within your own journey to ease these feelings for you and develop fulfilling coping skills. I am also supportive of incorporating your partner or your family to aid in healing, communication and healthier dynamics. I am client centered and focus on what you would like your journey in therapy to look and feel like. I am attachment theory and trauma focused in my modalities.

Hi! My name is Dominique. I grew up abroad and have engaged with people from all corners of life. I have a collaborative approach, listening to individuals process through their struggles, empowering change while developing strategies to implement change. We all have a need to share a story and I enjoy listening to stories providing an opportunity of a dynamic ending. Some of my areas of interest are life transitions, anxiety, trauma, coping skills, relationship issues, and stress.

Perhaps the greatest benefit to reaching out to any therapist is the beginning of a journey to self-discovery and empowerment. We all know that life offers joys and challenges. Sometimes the challenges, distresses and/or pain becomes overwhelming. Through my personal and professional experiences as a former teacher and now LMFT, we can explore together the hidden strengths within you so you can once again appreciate the person inside you. It is through the door of awareness and understanding that change takes place.

Have you ever noticed how sometimes life takes over and you feel like its scheduling your rather than you scheduling life?

I offer a free consultation to discuss the ways we can collaborate discovering healing and insight.
