Yvonne is experienced in working with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioural difficulties, relationship disconnect, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

When Yvonne is not in the office, she enjoys spending time with her two children, family and friends. She has a passion for being outdoors and reading as well as watching and volunteering at her children’s extracurriculars.

I want to begin by congratulating you for taking this first step toward healing for yourself and/or your loved ones. Too often, our society praises “silent sorrow” and labels the expression of emotions as “weakness,” “giving up,” or “defeat.” I’m honoured to celebrate your decision to reach out for support. I offer a caring, non-judgemental space where we can explore how your human experience has shaped your whole self—body, mind, heart, and spirit.

I bring over 20 years of experience in the human services field, along with a Bachelor of Social Work degree, and I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I approach my practice through a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens and have a deep understanding of intergenerational trauma. As a son, brother, husband, and father, I understand the unique challenges men face in today’s world. I strive to provide a different kind of experience—one where emotions can flow freely and where you can feel safe in your vulnerability as we explore your inner world together.

I offer both virtual and in-person sessions at our Lindsay location, with availability in the evenings and on weekends. My hope is that this flexibility supports your healing journey while allowing you to continue fulfilling your responsibilities to the people you care about.
