Tell us what you're offering at Be Free!
At Be Free, I’m offering integrative, holistic therapy and counseling services focused on blending tangible skills, actionable practices, and transformative insights. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate their mental health journey with tools that not only create immediate impact but also foster lasting change and self-discovery
How did you get involved with Mentel Health and why have you chosen to work for yourself now!!?
My journey into mental health began as a path to healing for myself. Experiencing significant family mental health and addiction challenges, I saw how a broken system could worsen treatable issues. Personally navigating trauma, ADHD, and neurodivergent symptoms, I found deep healing through a blend of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality practices.
For nearly 15 years, I’ve worked in community mental health, serving vulnerable populations, leading teams, and creating impactful programs. Now, I’ve transitioned to working for myself to create a practice that aligns fully with my values, allowing me to offer a deeply personalized approach and connect authentically with the people I serve. It’s about freedom, both for myself and the individuals I work with.
Whats something people might not know about you?
I’m a huge nerd! Whether it’s diving deep into research on topics I’m passionate about, like somatic therapy and internal family systems, or getting lost in my favorite games like Magic: The Gathering, Skyrim, or Ori, I love exploring and geeking out over what excites me.
What is currently lighting up your world?
There are several things lighting up my world right now. Starting to work for myself and learning the ins and outs of owning a business that not only helps people but aligns with my values is incredibly exciting. I’m also making the most of the winter sunshine and diving deep into new therapy approaches, like Internal Family Systems. It’s inspiring to be on this journey of growth and exploration!
Anything else to share?
I'm currently working on building workshops at Be Free focused on Somatic Therapy for trauma healing. I’m thrilled to offer tangible knowledge and skills on how trauma, anxiety, and stress are held in the body, and how to use mind-body connection skills to facilitate healing!
