(she/her)
Navigating life’s ups and downs can feel heavy, but you don't have to walk this path alone. I am here to truly listen, honor your unique story, and meet you exactly where you are today. Together, we will look closely at the experiences that have shaped you, unlocking the insights and gentle tools you need to heal. Your journey is entirely your own, and my goal is simply to walk beside you, helping you rediscover the resilient, whole, and healed person you have always been
The first session will consist of me hearing your story. I want to truly understand your experiences from your unique perspective. Together, we will gently explore what you hope to get out of our time together—and if you are new to counseling, we will walk through it at a pace that feels comfortable for you. At the end, we will begin your healing journey.
I have over 20 years experience as a social worker. Over the years, I’ve learned how to combine my clinical expertise with a strong sense of intuition, ensuring our work together is both highly effective and deeply supportive of your personal journey.
We all encounter moments in life where we want things to change, but the next step feels completely out of reach. I specialize in helping people find clarity during times of conflict, crisis, or major life transitions. No matter where you are in your journey, we will work together to turn that uncertainty into a positive, meaningful and balanced way forward.
Other specialties
I identify as
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
My practice for this treatment has shown positive outcomes. Mindfulness therapy provides care for clients with the intent of thought patterns that are disrupting emotions or actions. Clients can practice this method on a continuous basis to assist with anxiety, fear or other such emotions. This technique offers one of the tools for a coping mechanism during stressful or significant events. I am a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional.
Narrative
Narrative therapy helps me to meet the client were they are at. This method provides the client to tell "their story" in the most authentic way. Clients are able to reveal events that have shaped who they are and why they think or behave in certain ways. Through narrative therapy, the client and I are able to determine deep rooted thought/behavioral patterns.
Gender-affirming therapy
I have worked with clients who are trans or nonbinary. I was also certified back in early 2000's to provide gender affirming therapy. The journey for gender affirming transition is complicated and sometimes confusing for the client. This type of therapy helps the client with affirmation and validation. This technique also offers coping mechanisms for clients.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a foundation for effective outcomes for clients. CBT is a method to assist clients with thoughts that hinder someone from moving forward and/or behaviors. As a therapist, I assist with changing these thoughts and behaviors within the context of the client's perspective and narrative.

Yvonne is seriously so welcoming. The first session she really just listened, processed what I had to say and allowed me to process as well. She is very open minded and comforting.

I appreciated Yvonne's honesty and the way she explained my behavior and the feelings I currently have. She mentioned that she's shared similar experiences, so I really felt like she understood where I was coming from and that gave me a huge sense of relief and safety. I was skeptical of "therapy" at first, but I'm really looking forward to my next session with her.
