I also am a sex positive therapist and work with a variety of sexual concerns including mismatched desire, pain with sex, low desire, etc.
You don’t have to go through this alone. If anxiety feels like it’s always in the background — affecting your relationships, your sense of safety, or how connected you feel to yourself, you’re not broken, and you’re not failing. Reaching out for support is already a meaningful first step. Many of the people I work with feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected — from their bodies, their partners, or their sense of ease in everyday life. You may notice anxiety showing up in relationships or intimacy, making closeness feel stressful, confusing, or out of reach. Together, we create a space where you can slow down and reconnect.

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.
