About Yvonne

Connections Therapy is a virtual therapy practice specializing in neurodivergence, anxiety, grief, trauma, parenting, life transitions, depression, codependency and LGBTQ issues as well as couples and sex/sexuality issues. I know what it’s like to be a prisoner of your own brain. It's why I made it my life’s work to ensure you never feel that way in therapy.

My goal is to help you feel understood. Help you actually know and like yourself again. Help you feel confident and safe in yourself and in your relationships.

My approach is a depth-oriented eclectic mix of psychoanalytic, IFS, CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic and neuropsychological therapies. That means we don’t put a Band-Aid on your experiences.

Many people I work with consider themselves self-aware. They know what they struggle with and why. And yet, they can't seem to change, no matter how much effort they put in.

That’s because there are deeper layers that haven’t been fully understood yet.

Sessions are open to what’s present for you, with me actively helping shape and deepen the work as we go. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, or are going through a life transition, all changes, sometimes even positive ones, result in loss. Very often, we don’t take the time to acknowledge and give ourselves the space to process these experiences. This may leave us feeling isolated and disconnected from ourselves and others –perhaps overwhelmed by these experiences, or feeling stuck. I believe when we make space to process these emotions and experiences, we open ourselves up to what nurtures balance in our lives.
