Yvonne has worked with children in schools and group homes; adolescents in a drug rehabilitation centre; male adolescents in open and closed custody facilities; and adults in psychiatric care and a community arts centre.

At present, Yvonne works as a counsellor for a company offering an Employee Assistance Program, she is a consultant art therapist for the Children’s Aid Society, and sees individual clients in her private practice where she offers various programs and workshops. Yvonne has taught and supervised with the Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI) for 5 years. She has just started a new group at the Toronto (Don) Jail with the special needs population.

Yvonne’s approach is one of encouragement and support. Her empathy and understanding assist individuals to move beyond their emotional impediments and constraints. They are encouraged, instead, to move towards emotional freedom, expansion and personal growth.
