About Yvette
Yvette blends elements from several therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her work often includes skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and staying present. Motivational interviewing also appears in sessions when people need to clarify goals and find reasons to change. The focus is on workable tools that fit into busy lives.
Sessions emphasize clear collaboration: together they set goals and test strategies that can be practiced between meetings. She describes therapy as a practical process rather than something intimidating, and aims to make progress feel achievable. Yvette works with people in California and brings long experience to careful, step-by-step planning.
If someone wants to begin, the first step is a short intake and a conversation to see what approach feels right. From there she helps create a plan that addresses immediate concerns and builds toward longer-term coping and self-understanding.
