About My Clients
Seeking a safe place to land when you have nothing left to give? Maybe you’re ambitious, capable, and accustomed to handling what needs to be handled, but lately, you may feel stuck, depleted, or unsure of what comes next. Hey, I’m Yvonne! I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, with a special focus on high-achieving women of color, including eldest daughters and those working through over-giving and people-pleasing patterns. Together, we can work through this!
My Background and Approach
For clients experiencing OCD or intrusive thoughts, I incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help reduce the cycle of obsessions, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance. For anxiety and life transitions, we’ll work on understanding patterns, strengthening boundaries, regulating emotions, and making changes that actually fit your life. And yes, there can be room for humor too. Therapy is serious work. That doesn’t mean every minute has to feel heavy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I operate on the belief that we are shaped by our past, but it doesn't define our future. I also believe that not everyone can be a superhero all of the time, because even the best of the best needs time to rest. We learn unhealthy ways to adapt to stress, anxiety, life transitions, and more based on what our environment has taught us. When I was younger, I watched my mother do everything. I watched her build, nurse, and still make time to make a hot plate. Fast forward to my adulthood, I analyzed that, in many ways, I was like her. I begin to focus my work on healing myself through the resources my mother did not have and help others who also are struggling with the same thing.
