I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. My education was obtained at Texas A&M University - Kingsville where I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Arts In Psychology and a Master of Science in Art. I have worked with clients in correctional and residential settings. Taught classes in Anger Management and Domestic Violence. Over the years I have worked with clients dealing with addiction, sexual abuse/offense issues, victims of sexual abuse, grief, trauma, anger, anxiety, coping with life changing issues, physical and emotional abuse . I am also certified in Anger Resolution.
My counseling approach is client centered, cognitive behavioral, reality and the recognition everyone is different and should be treated with respect. Life is a classroom and if you don't make mistakes how do you learn, but to learn from them we must forgive ourselves.
As a counselor I support my clients and respect the courage and determination it takes to grow,

Yvonne is the kindest soul there is, she’s comforting yet firm and understands that therapy is not a linear progress and there can be setbacks. She’s helping me find myself and how to love and live with others

Yvonne has given me many tools to help me work through my anxiety and depression. She’s helped my realize things about myself that I hadn’t been able to uncover and work towards healing my inner child, accepting myself as worthy and figuring out what makes me happy. She’s listens without judgement and makes me feel comfortable to open up.

Yvonne's guidance over the last two years has been a life changing experience for me. She has brought me through several catastrophic situations and I emerged intact. I don't think I would be where I am without Yvonne's insightful help. The only reason I am leaving as I no longer can afford the cost.

Very helpful! Would recommend if you need a patient person who listens!
Written on Jun 04, 2023 after therapy with Yvonne for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions
My experience with Yvonne has been great. She listens, and she finds at least one thing I can use later as a 'hook' to focus on between sessions. I am a therapist myself (every therapist needs a therapist!) and I have recommended BetterHelp to clients who have asked me about therapy for their relatives (since obviously I could not be their therapist.)
I find that Yvonne can relate to me and my belief system as I am older (in my early 60s) and sessions go quickly as a result. It's neat to have someone to talk to and to keep me accountable for my own self-care, which is Article 1 of the Code of Ethics I follow (CCPA, Canada). I find it easy to share my feelings and my struggles with her. She always seems to be able to cut through the fluff - gently - and get at the heart of the matter. I highly recommend her services.

Yvonne almost gives you permission to therapize yourself. She’ll open a door and you’ll find that you’ve been waiting to walk through it. She chooses her words carefully so that she says exactly what she means while leaving room for you. And you’ll find yourself feeling welcome to release whatever negativity you’ve been nurturing. Thank you, Yvonne.

Yvonne has been a safe place for me to share my life experiences and has great patience and gentle/firm approaches. I learn by logical details and science and she is happy to share with me in the way I can understand. I feel seen and validated by her and hope to continue working with her throughout my journey. Even in my lowest moments where I am obsessing over an issue, she is loving and non judgmental which is the best way for me to work through, accept, and let go. I love being held accountable and aware of myself and I love having someone professional and intelligent in many areas, to lead the way Thanks Yvonne.

Yvonne is sweet, straight to the point and calls me out on my bluffs. She’s a wonderful woman and I feel I’ve grown so much in our sessions together. I needed someone to call me out when I was doing things that weren’t beneficial for me or my relationship and she does just that. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a good ear and exercises to handle depression and anxiety

I’ve tried therapy before, but this is the first time I actually feel like it’s helping. Yvonne does not judge, she’s genuine and caring. I’ve only had a few sessions with her so far, but she has no idea how much she’s already helped me. I reached out for help when I was in a very bad place. Yvonne listens to every single thing I have to say and helps me better understand my situations. I consider it my safe space and feel comfortable telling her anything because you can tell she truly cares and wants to help. Thank you for everything Yvonne!

Yvonne has her hands full with me, and is doing great. Grateful for her input. She responds as soon as she can, considering she has other clients and we are on a 17 hour time difference with me in Australia and her being in Texas.

She does that well, glad to have her helping me through this.
