Female Therapists in Staten Island, NY

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.

Throughout this journey that we call life, we all experience times where we need perspective, support and insight. It is normal to need help navigating through life transitions, loss, grief, milestones, relationships and reaching your full potential.

I would like to support you during these challenging times by accessing your strengths, recognize your limitations, yet working through them to acquire growth, necessary change and success.

We can all benefit from talking to someone at some point in our lives whether it be regarding stress, anxiety, frustration, irritability, anger, depressed mood or something in particular in your life that you need to vent about in a safe, nonjudgmental space to someone who will listen genuinely and empathetically. From these sessions you can both gain and lose. For example, you can lose things you have been holding on to and gain freedom and clarity. You can unlearn negative patterns of thinking or unwanted behaviors and learn some new skills and coping techniques. Self Discovery and Self Awareness are vital parts of this journey.

I believe therapy should be long term and built on the strong relationship between therapist and client. My approach is solution focused with forward orientation. I try to encourage clients to share at their pace & they will be met exactly where they are at. Anything shared is viewed as a gift & a privilege to hear. I practice eclectic psychotherapy using a wide range of tools, training, and skills with my life experience to support clients in being able to achieve the desired change, acceptance, or processing they may be seeking. I want you to feel safe enough to finally tell someone: what happened to you. You are no longer alone.
