“To search for power within myself means I must be willing to move through being afraid to whatever lies beyond. If I look at my most vulnerable places and acknowledge the pain I have felt, I can remove the source of that pain from my enemies’ arsenals. My history cannot be used to feather my enemies’ arrows then, and that lessens their power over me. Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me. I am who I am, doing what I came to do.”
— Audre Lorde

Yvette is a bilingual therapist who earned their master’s in social work (MSW) from New York University. They are committed to supporting marginalized individuals as they navigate challenging emotions, process complex trauma, explore intersecting identities, and foster healthy, meaningful relationships.

If you’re looking for therapy that directly addresses the realities of surviving late-stage capitalism, Yvette offers a refreshing, transformative approach. Their style is collaborative and integrative, rooted in a blend of lived experience, radical feminism, and abolitionist perspectives. In sessions, Yvette empowers clients to explore interlocking systems of oppression with a focus on empowerment, resilience, and resistance. 

Deeply rooted in Liberation Psychology, Yvette guides clients through the complex journey of navigating trauma, particularly the wounds created and sustained by systems of power. Their approach emphasizes the power of positive relationships, combined with elements of evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). They integrate empirically-supported, trauma-informed modalities, creating a compassionate space for clients to process and release emotional pain while reconnecting with their inner wisdom. Through this work, clients are supported in reclaiming their narratives and discovering ways to heal, thrive, and resist beyond the wounds inflicted by oppressive systems.

As a queer, nonbinary person of the Mexican diaspora, Yvette brings their personal experiences, values, and deep respect for community resilience into their work. They invite you to bring your whole self into sessions, fostering a relationship built on authenticity and trust. Honoring each person's unique journey, Yvette embraces openness, humor, and compassion throughout the process. Together, you’ll create a warm, courageous space that celebrates all aspects of your identity and honors the strength and wisdom within.
