Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I would like to give you a brief description of myself as a therapist and the nature of the therapy that I provide.
It is also my intent to help you understand the therapeutic relationship so that you might fully understand the services you
will be receiving. I have a master’s degree in Social Work from Walla Walla University. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in Washington, California, North Carolina, and New Mexico. I have 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, and have trained in several treatment modalities.
I work from an integrative perspective, emphasizing the therapeutic relationship and cognitive-behavioral techniques. My approach involves getting a clear sense of my clients’ main goals, and then matching therapeutic techniques to best fit these goals. Most importantly, I always work with you to figure out what approach you’ll respond to best and what makes the most sense specifically for you.
I have worked extensively with the military and the special operations community. I have also lived and worked with many Native Tribes throughout North America. I am a certified yoga/meditation instructor, as well as a trainer on the seminar circuit for the integration of Holistic Treatment in Healthcare. Most importantly though, I believe in humanity’s natural gravitation towards healing and growth.

Above all, Yonna believes in people’s natural tendency toward healing and growth, and she brings that conviction into supportive, goal-oriented therapy for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, and a wide range of other concerns.
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to life changes, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience – clients can connect in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
Therapists who offer remote services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist if they need a better fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible route to support and progress on common mental health concerns.
