“Having been a client of Yvette’s for a couple years, I can say she is highly skilled at helping clients navigate many different types of issues. Importantly, she ‘walks the walk’ of inclusion by affirming and supporting diverse identities.”

“I hesitated to give counselling another try based on my previous experience; however, I am grateful I did. Yvette created an incredibly safe space for me to be vulnerable, to share and to process my emotions and thoughts.”

“I am very grateful for Yvette. She is warm, affirming, and made me feel listened to – she always has my best interests at heart. Working with her led to breakthroughs with my romantic partner. She is my favourite counsellor.”
