Everyone has a special, unique story.  There’s a tendency to compare our story with another’s.  The truth is, there is no story that is more important than another’s…they are just different.  Yvonne counts it a privilege to walk alongside individuals and families in whatever chapter of their life story they find themselves.  Yvonne’s goal is to provide a setting of safety and trust so that healing and change can occur at the client’s pace.  Yvonne uses therapies that fit the client rather than trying to have the client fit the therapy.  She believes that a listening ear and a sense of hope can go a long way no matter what the struggle.

Yvonne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience in outpatient and inpatient settings, counseling all age groups.
