Therapist

Hi, I’m Evonne! I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and accepted just as you are.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and have experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help you better understand yourself, build healthy coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Therapist

There is so much growing that we do in our teens & young adulthood (and our adulthood too!), whether we want to or not. I know how overwhelming it can be, especially with so many factors at play (culture, trauma, world events, etc). As your therapist, I’m here to support you through all this.

I am someone who:

  • Works with BIPOC, children of immigrants, LGBTQ+, & neurodivergent teens folx, & those who are grieving
  • Is trauma informed, & community/justice oriented
  • Knows how the systems at play affect us daily & at a deeper unconscious level
  • Creates a safe space for you to explore the parts of your life that may feel too difficult to hold on your own

If you want any of the following, then I am the therapist for you:

  • Work through your relationships, life events, &/or grief using talk therapy & body-centered approaches
  • Process life events, ideas, feelings with thought provoking questions
  • Support in navigating relationships & your inner world in any capacity
