Great to meet you!

If your brain has 22 tabs open, you’re exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy, or you’re functioning on the outside but barely holding it together inside, I get it. I’m Yanique, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in social work. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, overthinking, people pleasing, relationship and family stress, faith related concerns, and life transitions.


My approach is warm, honest, and practical. I use CBT, mindfulness, body based, strengths based, and person centered techniques to help you understand what’s really going on, break unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who want to include their faith in the therapeutic process.

My approach to therapy

You don’t just want to talk about your problems. You want to understand why you keep getting stuck in the same cycles and actually do something about it. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. We’ll look at the connection between what you think, feel, and do, while also paying attention to what your body may be telling you.


I use CBT, mindfulness, body based, strengths based, and person centered techniques to help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, manage emotions, build healthier boundaries, and respond to life in ways that feel more aligned with who you want to be. If faith is important to you, we can intentionally incorporate it into your healing process.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel a little awkward, especially if you’re wondering, “Where do I even start?” You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you, understand what brought you to therapy, and learn what you hope to change. We’ll talk about what’s going on, identify where you’d like support, and begin creating a plan together. You can expect a warm, judgment free space where you can be yourself.
