Hi! Yvette here! I grew up in the Bay Area and my parents are from El Salvador. Working with Latinos, BIPOC, and queer folks is close to my heart.
Therapy with me involves being curious together, holding tenderness for all the parts that folks bring in (even the pieces they’re frustrated with), and paying attention to people’s strengths/gifts. And importantly, involves moments of laughter and lightness. My work centers BIPOC, who are navigating both determining what they want to hold onto from what they were taught and what isn’t serving them anymore. In therapy, we’re often zooming in on present emotions and zooming out to look at how the past is connected to the present, on context impact, patient values and what people want for themselves. My goal in therapy is to co-create spaces of empowerment and of empathy. I work to facilitate self-understanding and self-compassion.
The relationship between therapist and patient is such a key aspect of therapy and can be such a source of healing. I’m honored that you’re considering entering this relationship with me. I think there is so much value in healing in relationship.
