When working with couples, I work to understand both perspectives to help bridge the differences and enhance their communication skills to deepen their closeness.
Therapy is not about how we can avoid unwanted life situations but about how we can face life's challenges with openness and willingness to engage with life rather than retreat from it. My professional practice and lived experience indicate that no matter what we've been, we can make choices in the present and become what we desire to be. I have realized that the best solution to human problems is talking to someone who listens to your struggles, empathizes with you, and helps find solutions. Thus, my approach to therapy is integrative and collaborative, with more emphasis on Psychodynamics, CBT, Narrative therapy, and Spirituality.

This is a tough time. Really. We are all born to be connected, but are pulled away from source and are now lonely. seekling love, purpose, acceptance and empathy in the presence of a caring straight-shooting and good humored guide. I work with individuals, couples and groups. I work with outsiders whose resilience, relational, emotional, spiritual and financial potentials may be have been thwarted from inadequate care givers and the trauma of just surviving in the world we a living in. We loose our capacity for emotional regulation and don't have "the words to say it". Let me help you.

I specialize in treating couples from marginalized and minority groups.
The word Sankofa means "one must go back in order to move forward". The idea is that in order to move forward into our highest potential, we must use the best of what was in our past. As a relational therapist who primarily works from a Solution-Focused approach, the word Sankofa reflects my belief that learning from our experiences in the past can contribute to healing in the present and future. I believe we are all capable of change through an effective solution. I have experience bringing about the changes that will lead to a healthier and happier life.

Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, loss or relationship issues, together, we can get you to the place you have been wanting to be.
At times, life is hard. The life we always envisioned is not matching up to our reality. Life has thrown us a curve ball and we don't know what to do. Sometimes, we wake up with feelings of sadness, fear or anger, which could stick with us throughout the day. These feelings can sometimes affect us from completing our everyday tasks or even our relationships with others. The things we are trying are not working. We want things to change; but don’t know how or where to start. Therapy might be that the place to begin.

Services are offered, as well, to families, couples, children and adolescents.
Dedication, education and experience are the qualities that will contribute to an active exploration of your unconscious and conscious mind in a safe and secure analytical framework. This therapeutic process is thrilling as one hears, listens and gains conscious knowledge of the wisdom of the unconscious. Psychoanalytical psychotherapy requires commitment, time, and an over riding desire for wellness. It does not promise a false, temporary relief, a quick fix, and/or health gained by following a therapist's directives under the false premise that others have the answers. The unconscious owns the answers and wellness.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
