As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding the unique experiences of each person, with a deep commitment to addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics.
I bring a compassionate and culturally responsive perspective to therapy, particularly focusing on women's issues, young adult experiences, and multicultural concerns. My practice emphasizes healing through self-love, improved communication, and breaking cycles of isolation and shame.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients explore personal growth, develop healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to creating a supportive and affirming therapeutic space where you can explore, heal, and transform.

Yovani tells you how it is and listens when you talk. I find our conversations do have some quiet moments, but in that same moment, I find myself opening up farther overall I think she’s a great therapist. I’m glad that I was matched with her.

Yovani is so sweet and amazing! She helped me work through problems I’ve been struggling with for months/years in just a couple weeks. I already feel stronger and confident because of our time together and she’s so amazing also about not making our sessions feel rushed. She really spends time and is present every time and is always responsive over text between sessions too. I can’t say enough kind words to ever fully express my appreciation for Yovani!

Very kind and thoughtful about things that are really sensitive. I dont express myself well and often go on tangents but she was mindful of that. I trust that our sessions will move life in the right direction.
Written on Aug 26, 2022 after therapy with Yovani for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Yovani is one of the best therapists I have ever come across. She is delicate in the way that she listens and provides suggestions. She relates back to her own experiences, which makes it super easy to open up as it is a two-way platform. I find myself very reserved when it comes to talking about my personal issues, but she managed to break that barrier down within the first 30 minutes of our session. She is like the mentor I have never had, and anyone would be lucky to have her, even if it is just for a few sessions

She’s a great encouragement to my daily life and journals. She really cares about learning about your experiences and what problem areas you want to fix on. As much listening and understanding she gives, she brings light to other point of views and techniques I wouldn’t have thought to think. It changes your thinking on your situations and how to challenge yourself to do something different. She’s amazing honestly.

Yovani is warm and compassionate. She will sit with you through an experience, validate your feelings, and challenge you in ways that will help you improve. I was nervous it would take a few different therapists to find a good match on BetterHelp, but I am very happy with who they found for me the very first time around. I look forward to continuing my counseling relationship with Yovani!
