LMFT, 7 years of experience
If you feel distant from your usual self, or out of place in your day to day encounters, therapy with me can be a safe reintroduction to yourself. I will be an ally, a guide and sometimes a mirror. I have up close and personal experience with recovery from addiction, broken families and broken hearts. I became a therapist after many years of being a first responder. What I learned is that when people feel heard they respond because they feel safe. Being a therapist is helping with a different type of wound, but people know when some one truly cares how they are feeling. Trauma is not only physical, our emotional trauma must be processed in order for us to grow.
First let me say I am glad you decided to try therapy. Connecting with another person can be life changing. In the first session we will see how we can make that happen. We might go over your intake info together, or take care of the business end of things, but as with any session with me, we start where you are and go from there.
In therapy I will help you find the answers to the questions that brought you into therapy. I understand that the journey is yours and that I am there to help process what you discover. As a fellow human I know that feeling understood and accepted can change everything.
Adults (all ages) At risk adolescents children 7 years and older LGBTQ+ No matter our age or situation we all want to be heard and understood.
This is a form of talk therapy that allows for identification of emotions and learning where they come from. When talked about, a person can suddenly realize what needs to happen next, or how it is o.k. to feel a certain way. Together, the therapist and client discover a path.

Yvonne has been an amazing therapist. She's incredibly accepting, helpful, and kind. I feel like I've been able to better find myself by speaking with her.

Yvonne has helped me work through my trauma in a way that has made a huge positive impact on my day to day. Yvonne gave me tools to cope with daily stress, and I use them all the time. She’s open minded and nonjudgmental, and even brings a spiritual approach that really resonates with me. She genuinely cares and treats me like a human, not just another patient. I can’t thank her enough for how much she’s helped me!
