Yvonne has called Vancouver home since 1973 and holds a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology, specializing in Vocational Rehabilitation from the University of British Columbia.
Her career as a counsellor began while working in university settings where she provided counselling to young adults. While completing her credentials, she worked in the non-profit sector where she became interested in helping those with a history of trauma. She spent time training at BC Cancer Agency (BCCA), Patient and Family Counselling Services providing services to patients with cancer and their families.
Her experiences launched her self-discovery of how her many interests and abilities were highly transferrable in helping others. Specifically, she has learned how to identify the right learning strategy and accommodate needs for clients with mental health challenges.
As a therapist, Yvonne is genuine, caring and an insightful professional who creates a safe therapeutic space to foster personal growth and self-awareness.
Yvonne considers herself a life long learner. She is a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and survivor. On her downtime, you will find Yvonne exploring trails and playing with her dog, Sookie.
