Meet Marguerite
Hi, I’m Marguerite 🌿
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Freedom and Soul Healing. I believe therapy can be a place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel supported as you navigate the parts of life that feel overwhelming, uncertain, or simply hard. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that meaningful change happens when we have the space and tools to better understand ourselves. I bring warmth and humor into the therapy room while also being direct, honest, and collaborative in our work together. I will gently challenge you to look at patterns, beliefs, and experiences in new ways while supporting you in discovering what feels most authentic and meaningful to you. I integrate DBT, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices to help you understand your emotions, reconnect with your body, strengthen your relationships, and move toward greater ease, alignment, and joy.
As a Black, Afro-Latina, Afro-Caribbean, bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking therapist, I also understand how deeply our identities, relationships, communities, and lived experiences can shape the way we move through the world. I welcome conversations about culture, identity, racial and systemic stress, relationships, family, and belonging when they are meaningful to you. Therapy with me is collaborative and human. You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out. We can start exactly where you are and work together toward creating a life worth living. 🌿💚
I love working with people who are navigating anxiety, trauma, intense emotions, relationship and dating challenges, identity exploration, burnout, mood concerns, and major life transitions. Together, we can explore the patterns and experiences underneath what you’re feeling while also building practical skills you can use in everyday life. Therapy with me often includes grounding and mindfulness, emotional regulation skills, somatic practices, boundary work, self-compassion, and exploring the beliefs or patterns that may be keeping you from the life and relationships you want. 🌿
I want therapy to feel like a space where you can show up as your full self, where there is room for the difficult parts of your story as well as your humor, strengths, culture, creativity, hopes, and joy. My hope is that our work helps you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, trust yourself more fully, feel more connected to your body and relationships, and leave therapy with tools that continue supporting you long after our sessions end. Healing is not only about feeling better, it is about building a life that feels like your own. 🌺🌿
My Approach
My style is warm, relational, humorous, empowering and direct. I create space for both vulnerability and joy. Together, we’ll get curious about the thoughts, fears, and patterns that may be causing distress and explore new ways of understanding yourself and your experiences. I’ll gently challenge you to see things from different perspectives while helping you build greater trust in yourself and discover what works best for you. Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and practical tools, I’ll help you approach difficult emotions, relationships, and life’s challenges with greater curiosity, gentleness, and self-trust.
