Therapists in Fridley, MN

I have experience working with a culturally diverse population of individuals. My clients range from age 6 to age 65. Most of my experience is working with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. I believe the greatest success is to accompany the client on their journey and to be the guide to navigate through the challenges of life. I regard the client to be the expert in their lives and it is important for them to discuss their goals and their expectations. My clients who experience the greatest success are motivated and ready to work, open-minded, flexible, introspective, honest, and trusting.

Managing the impact of trauma on the body, brain and mind can be overwhelming. Trauma creates insecurity, mistrust, and disconnection from people, yet as humans we exist in relation to others. Trauma can cause depression, anxiety, and interpersonal difficulties. I will walk with you in your journey of healing tapping into your strengths and resiliency to restore your dignity, and empower you to take back control of your life, and embody your sense of Self. My approach is collaborative, respectful, compassionate and warm. Your cultural, and ancestral beliefs will be centered, respected and applied; if it matters to you!

There are times when the tasks of life seem insurmountable and too much to bear. I take a practical approach to counseling that is grounded in honesty, humor, non-judgment, and personal reflection. Sankofa means "It is not forbidden to go back and fetch what you forgot". Our past experiences, family history, and beliefs and values contribute to how we manage life's challenges. Looking to your past uncovers valuable lessons. I believe that positive change occurs through building on the individual's strength and focusing on the power of relationship, and past success as the primary source of healing and personal growth.

I am committed to creating a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will work towards developing coping mechanisms and strategies that can help you manage your mental health needs and improve your overall well-being. In therapy, I utilize a combination of evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness techniques. These approaches are tailored to your individual needs and can help you gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as develop healthier patterns.

I envision my ideal client as someone navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. They seek understanding, a safe space, and coping skills.

They desire to feel better, to improve their quality of life, and to lead a fulfilling, balanced, and happy life. They are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, and I am here to guide and support them every step of the way.
