Hi there, I'm Yvonne!

I provide evidence-based, holistic, patient-centered care through medication management and behavioral health support. I collaborate with you and your care team to address anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, psychosis, inattention, and ADHD.

My focus

I work with teens, adults, and seniors experiencing depression, trauma, OCD, anxiety, mood disorders, anger issues, emotional disturbances, behavioral challenges, psychosis, thinking disorders, self-harm, sexual abuse, sleep issues, insomnia, and perinatal mental health concerns.

My approach

My focus is to identify underlying causes and develop strategies, not just rely on medication. You'll gain a clear understanding of your diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options to make informed decisions. I create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment where empathy, trust, and kindness guide our work together.
