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. As a Black, Cherokee, CHamoru (Pacific Islander), two-spirit/same gender loving therapist with many intersections, I welcome and value all parts of you. I offer culturally conscious and empowering therapy for generational trauma recovery and resilience. I integrate evidence based and cutting-edge approaches to support you to access your resources and transform internalized oppression. Therapy is a personalized experience and may include depth therapy, trauma therapy intensives or adjunct therapy but will always be relational.
