Life can sometimes throw us into tough situations that can feel really overwhelming. It’s totally understandable to feel like you’re carrying a heavy load when facing these challenges alone. For many of us, opening up to friends and family can seem daunting. That’s where I come in! I strive to create a warm and welcoming space where you can share your story comfortably.
I’m a licensed professional counselor based in Connecticut, with ten years of experience working with clients from all walks of life. I love connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Being culturally sensitive is important to me, and I enjoy learning about my clients’ unique cultures. I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals tackle various challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family issues, and self-esteem struggles.
My goal is to team up with you to build better coping skills for life’s ups and downs, helping you improve your overall well-being. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with a person-centered touch, making our time together feel supportive and personal. I’m excited to take this journey with you!

From the first session, Yslande has been very respectful and accommodating. She has listened to my preferences and incorporated those into her treatment approach. I’m so appreciative of her time and I’m thankful I started therapy!

Yslande is the best. She is so attentive, responsive, and action-oriented. She always has something to share that lends truth, positivity, or empowerment to my situation. I am excited to continue my sessions with her.
