Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy support you to reclaim, remember and re-imagine the full expression of who you are.
If you’re impacted by tension in the body, grief, anxiety, fatigue, burnout, abortions, racism, addictions, loss, domestic violence, relationship struggles, or feeling disconnection from your sexuality, creativity, or purpose, I can help you.
I provide therapeutic guidance and tools based on the pioneering approaches of Dr. Laurence Heller’s NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®) and Dr. Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing®, as well as drawing inspiration from the expressive arts, ecopsychology, and Eastern philosophy.
My work developed from co-facilitating Embodied Trauma Healing international trainings with Ralf Marzen and is greatly influenced by Dr. Gabor Mate, Seane Corn, Bill Plotkins, Resmaa Menakem, and Anodea Judith.
Being an ethnically mixed woman who has dedicated her life to researching different cultural, spiritual, and holistic modalities, I have a deep and intuitive understanding of the human psyche in all its manifestations. I am dedicated to supporting people from all walks of life, developmental stages, beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender preferences.
I wish that you are deeply seen and understood and that together, we gently explore what gets in the way of you releasing negative beliefs you may have about yourself and living your true purpose with vitality and joyful expression.

FAQs:
+ How many sessions will I need?
This depends entirely on each person and we will determine this as we go along. Some clients may only need one session to receive the insight they’re looking for. For others more time may be needed to work through more complex layers. In general, this work is powerfully energetic and clients report positive shifts relatively quickly.
+ Does this work online?
Yes. I’ve experienced many online sessions to be highly impactful for clients. We create a resonant field that feels like we’re together in person. Doing sessions in the comfortable space of your own home can contribute to the integration of the work. I conduct my online sessions using Zoom or Skype.
+ How much does a session cost?
$100 for one hour.
+ Will the session make me ungrounded?
The Trauma Therapy approach I use, is different to traditional talk therapy or bodywork methods which may bring up too much difficult material all at once. This work has at its core, a deep understanding of the importance of nervous system regulation and supports intense sensations and emotions, one step at a time. In the process, clients learn to self-regulate and feelings of overwhelm soften and diminish as a result.
+ Will I need to express myself in ways I don't feel comfortable?
Absolutely not. These sessions are tailored to meet you where you are and to safely examine where your growing edges are, finding ways to meet them with adult awareness.
+ Can you tell me more about the expressive arts componet in the session?
The use of creative outlets can evoke openings that verbal dialogue doesn’t readily access through movement/dance, voice, poetry or drawing/mixed-media. The use of this is entirely optional and will be included only when it aligns with your stated and felt intentions.
+ Do you accept insurance?
No, I do not.
+ From where do you acquire your expertise?

Testimonials:
“The process of trauma-informed healing has guided me to a new awareness of how my soul desires to move in my body. This gift of embodied grace is not something that can be given. But with careful tending, the invitation to love oneself as a fully embodied being, can be brought to the foreground of awareness. In this way, healing happens of its own accord. What Dominque offers through her healing sessions is this space for true healing to happen [or ] What Dominque offers through her healing sessions is nothing short of Soul craft! ”
“Dominique was so attentive in her care and process. Our session opened up a portal of vulnerability and greater access to wounds that required healing.”
