About My Clients
I provide a safe, validating space where clients can explore emotions, heal from trauma, and grow with confidence. I work with individuals, couples, and groups facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach blends evidence-based therapies with empowerment, helping clients build self-esteem, set boundaries, and embrace authenticity. LGBTQ+ affirming.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), National Certified Counselor, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling and Counselor Education, with a focus on resilience and the impostor phenomenon among Black women. In 2021, I founded YESTINY Counseling & Wellness Services to support clients in building confidence, self-worth, and authenticity. My approach is holistic, intentional, and collaborative, integrating MBCT, Narrative Therapy, DBT, and Psychodynamic methods. I provide a culturally responsive, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop healthier patterns in how they think, feel, and relate. I work with individuals, couples, and groups to strengthen boundaries, improve communication, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful change. I also serve as an educator and clinical supervisor, supporting developing counselors in building confidence and competence.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every person holds the power to create change and live a life aligned with their authentic self. Healing begins when we feel safe, seen, and validated, and my role is to walk alongside clients as they discover their own strength. I do not define trauma for clients, but honor their lived experiences as real and worthy of healing. I believe in empowering people to challenge negative patterns, embrace intentional thinking, and develop healthier ways of coping. Growth comes from courage, compassion, and the willingness to face life’s challenges with openness. I see counseling as a collaborative journey where clients are the experts of their own stories, and I provide tools, support, and encouragement. At the heart of my work is the belief that every person deserves confidence, self-love, and the freedom to become their own YES.
