Yvonne is a wonderful therapist. She listens carefully to what you're saying and helps you reflect on what it is you're saying and feeling. Very empathetic and absolutely a joy to talk with. Be prepared to face yourself because she cuts to the quick but helps guide your self reflection. I highly recommend her; a wonderful therapist and person.
