For some, it can feel burdensome sharing our feelings with friends and family. I approach my work with acceptance and compassion. Creating a safe place where you feel comfortable sharing your story.

From the first session, Yslande has been very respectful and accommodating. She has listened to my preferences and incorporated those into her treatment approach. I’m so appreciative of her time and I’m thankful I started therapy!

Yslande is the best. She is so attentive, responsive, and action-oriented. She always has something to share that lends truth, positivity, or empowerment to my situation. I am excited to continue my sessions with her.
