About Yolanda's Trauma and Relationship Counseling
Yolanda specializes in helping people find a path through anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, relationship concerns, and sleep-related challenges. She uses EMDR and exposure-based approaches to help clients move beyond coping and toward a fuller reclamation of life.
In her work with couples, Yolanda focuses on the intersection between individual anxiety and relational dynamics. Using Gottman Method principles, she helps partners understand patterns that can interfere with communication and connection.
