I am caring, empathic, and non -judgmental. My experiences across cultures and the ability to treat everyone as unique individuals, has allowed me to hone and master my skill of reaching the heart of my clients. I am competent in the areas of Trauma Outcome Process, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Parenting Skills education (Triple P Level 4 Standard Triple P, and level 5 Pathways Triple P certification).

Yvonne does a wonderful job of accepting what I am saying and then helping me understand the deeper meaning behind it. Instead of fearing my emotions, I am starting to trust that they have purpose and can bring great joy and satisfaction to my life. Thank you!

Yvonne has been a joy! I truly enjoy and continually find value in our sessions. Settling on a therapist was a journey for me, but I knew within the first session with Yvonne I found a great match.
