About Yvonne
Yvonne uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel respectful and nonjudgmental. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are needed.
Sessions typically focus on practical steps clients can use between visits. That might mean trying a new coping skill, practicing a thought-record, or rehearsing a boundary conversation. She aims to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning rather than promising quick fixes.
Yvonne speaks from personal experience with trauma and grief, and she describes herself as compassionate and a good listener. She emphasizes a collaborative relationship where clients set the pace and goals.
Her training and long practice background inform how she adapts techniques to each person. Prospective clients should select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.
