I also provide relationship therapy when these dynamics interfere with connection.
Do you feel "stuck" in survival mode, trapped by overwhelming anxiety, behavioral ruts, or persistent shame. Perhaps your life is a fear-driven pursuit of avoiding pain and feeling good - only to find that avoiding the "mess" has made the suffering deeper. You want more than symptom relief; you want a sense of vitality and a life that's worth inhabiting. You long to move with a settled self, connecting to your values even when things feel heavy or chaotic. If you are ready to stop hiding and start living into the raw fullness of life, we may be a good fit.

Whether you're an individual dealing with past traumas that are unresolved or the loss of a significant entity in your life, a couple wanting to get through a rough patch, a family needing to improve communication, sometimes you just need an objective perspective to help see your way through.
I believe if there’s one thing that drives everything we are and do, its our emotions. My approach to therapy is all about those emotions: embracing them, understanding them, and working through them on any presenting problem. No matter the issue, embracing emotions can make a difference, and I utilize experiential and holistic approaches to do just that.

As a self-compassion advocate, I believe every individual should see themselves as a whole being and not just as the roles that they hold in life situations (i.e., parent, spouse, employee, etc.) With this in mind, I encourage you to embrace all of who you are to release the idea that your worth, purpose and identity is conditional.
“And how does that make you feel?” Although it’s a meaningful and impactful question, we will not stop there when working with me. Yes, feelings matter – deeply – but therapy with me is a full-bodied experience. Hi! I’m Yvon, your Joy-Centered Life Guide! I support you on your mental wellness journey through constructive accountability void of shame and negative judgment. As my clients will agree, I’m not afraid to be expressive, present, and fully human with you. I invite you to experience every session without a script and the opportunity to practice new skills in real time. Want to know more...let's talk about it!

If you've found that the traditional talk therapy left you a bit disappointed or underwhelmed, I may be the therapist you are looking for! I believe that most of the problems we face that bring us into therapy are a result of bad programming from the past. Because of that, I help clients desensitize and reprocess difficult stuff using brain-based therapy modalities. My clients find that this approach helps them get "unstuck", increases feelings of safety, and helps them live more authentically. The good news is that your brain already knows how to heal itself! As a therapist, my job is simply to initiate and guide this process.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
