Description (2950 characters max)
I founded Be Love Community Counseling to provide safe, healing space for people that have been oppressed, marginalized or have an identity outside of the "dominant culture." Historic trauma and past hurts may show up as depression, anxiety, anger management issues, low self-esteem, underachievement, oppositional behaviors etc. You may think that something is wrong with you while what you're experiencing may actually be a result of something that has happened to you or your ancestors. Therapy is empowering as you may increase awareness about what is keeping you from freedom to live the life you desire.
We may meet for a brief period and you'll learn and practice coping skills or we can take time needed to focus on the root of problems and identify the best solutions for you. You may gain deeper knowledge of your true self and what creates joy and ease.
Having intersecting identities has allowed me to practice being non-judgmental and culturally-sensitive. I don't pretend to have all answers but I'm honest and will share if I can help. I bring my attention, kindness, professionalism and clinical skills to support your journey to optimal health.
