Ready to Begin?

If something here resonates with you—reach out. You don’t have to carry this alone. Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about reclaiming the parts of you that deserve care.

Founder | Therapist | Air Force Veteran | Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist

Hi, I’m Evonne. I’m a licensed therapist, founder of Mended Counseling, and a proud Air Force veteran. I’m also someone who knows what it means to carry pain that doesn’t have easy language. I’ve lived through trauma, divorce, and seasons where showing up for life felt like the hardest thing.

That lived experience is what led me here—not just to therapy, but to this way of doing therapy: with care, honesty, and respect for the parts of you that helped you survive.

I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a deeply powerful way of helping people reconnect with themselves. Through IFS, we explore your inner world: the parts of you that react, protect, avoid, or collapse under the weight. We help those parts feel seen and supported so that your core Self—calm, clear, steady—can take the lead.

If you’ve been holding it together for everyone else, and there’s no space left for you, I want you to know: healing is possible. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly. You don’t have to be “ready.” You just have to start—and I’ll walk with you from there.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Therapy with me is real, steady, and built on trust—not pressure. You don’t need to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have it all figured out. I’ll ask honest questions, move at your pace, and hold space for whatever’s showing up—anxiety, shame, guilt, grief, confusion, anger, silence, or even laughter.

I believe healing isn’t always neat. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s slow, and sometimes it’s surprisingly light. I’ve done (and continue to do) my own therapy, because I believe in this work with my whole heart—not just as a therapist, but as a human being who’s been through it too.

Who I Work With

I support adults who are navigating:
– Complex trauma or PTSD
– Childhood neglect or emotional abuse
– Sexual abuse or assault
– Depression and anxiety
– Life transitions, grief, or identity shifts
– Emotional overwhelm or deep inner conflict
– Caregiving fatigue and high-functioning burnout
My clients are often the strong ones, the over-functioners, the quiet survivors. If that sounds like you—I already admire your courage.
