Hi! I'm Evelyn. You can call me Yeye. Once we meet, I'll tell you a little about how folks started calling me by that name. So you've decided to start therapy. It's a big step to take, but one that can take you through a journey of self-discovery. My work as a therapist is to provide compassionate mental health services to those who are looking at healing and moving forward on their life journey. With over 25+ years of experience in working with youth, adults, couples and families, I strive to support each individual I work with as they explore and learn about how best to honor themselves. My approach to mental health and wellness goes beyond managing symptoms. While working with you, I will simply guide you through a path of discovery so that you can examine, reflect and challenge yourself and the collectives that are a part of your environment so that you can live a meaningful and purposeful life. ​

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session may have you feeling a bit anxious and nervous, but that's okay. You may have never been to therapy or you've been to therapy and know that it will require some work on your part, but hey. You're here. So the first session will be more about getting to know you, and why you've chosen to start therapy at this time and we may even jump in and start an activity so that you get a sense of how I work. We'll also discuss your goals and how to move forward on your therapeutic journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

So after being in this field for over 25+ years, you can say I learned a little about myself and what my strengths are. My passion encompasses working with PTSD, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, working with veterans, and indigenous cultural healing.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking at their life at the moment and telling themselves, "This is the time for transformation. I want to be in charge of moving through the challenges and want support, sound clinical guidance, as well as, a therapist who I can connect with. "

My treatment methods

Somatic

A lot of my work is based on the biology of meaning. We often forget that when we come across challenges in our lives, our body is the first to respond. This is why I have an affinity in taking individuals through a journey of how their body initially responds to stress through Somatic Experiencing. Somatics is a body-oriented therapeutic model that helps heal trauma and other stress disorders.

In just one session, she was able to understand me very well. I felt very comfortable talking to her, and she has such a lovely energy and charisma.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Evelyn is truly amazing. She has helped me through some of the hardest moments of my life with so much care, understanding, and compassion. Talking to her never feels clinical or intimidating — it genuinely feels like talking to a best friend who listens without judgment and truly understands. She creates a safe, comfortable space where I feel heard, supported, and encouraged every single time. I’m incredibly grateful for her and the impact she’s had on my healing journey.

When searching for a provider, Evelyn’s profile stood out to be because she was not trying to sell a resume to me or experience she had. It was a welcoming ‘Hi, I’m glad you are here and acknowledging work can be done to be better’ type of introduction and that resonated with me. She was so polite, so kind, and listened while taking it all in. Very down to earth and does not speak down to you at all. Very sweet!!
