Evon is a compassionate and experienced therapist who works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Her professional background spans family preservation services, early childhood education, and nonprofit community outreach—experiences that inform her deeply relational and integrative approach to therapy.
​
No matter the setting, Evon’s mission remains consistent: to support individuals and families in building resilience, strengthening relationships, and navigating life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
