Hi. my name is Alonzo. You may call me AJ. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I love helping people work through their trauma and other adverse experiences that hindered them from reaching their full potential. "Sankofa" signifies the process of regaining lost power and knowledge through reflection on the past. As a therapist, this phrase really hits home for me. Some parts of our past may be too painful or difficult to remember. However, I have experienced directly that even in the most difficult and terrible situations, there is often potential for resiliency, strength, and progress. I want to make a therapeutic space that encourages people to find their strength and see things in a new way. I use various methods, including psychodynamic therapy, humanistic/client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, systemic therapy, and creative therapy..
