About Me

Be Love Community Counseling was founded to provide a 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 challenges in current relationships, depression, anxiety, anger management issues, low self-esteem, underachievement, oppositional behaviors etc. You may think that something is wrong with you while what you are experiencing may actually be a result of something that has happened to you or your ancestors.
