Hi, my name is Marguerite. I am the founder of Freedom and Soul Healing. I am an LCSW, bilingual Spanish& English mental health therapist, singer and community wellness activist from South Los Angeles with Caribbean heritage. I have been speaking Spanish for over 20 years and have lived abroad in Guatemala, Spain, and Costa Rica.

At Freedom and Soul Healing, I support individuals in getting unstuck, reconnecting with themselves, and creating greater joy, ease, and alignment in their lives. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and address patterns that contribute to emotional exhaustion. My approach is compassionate, holistic, and direct, offering a safe and affirming space for meaningful healing and growth. I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic practices, and spiritually guided modalities such as Reiki into my therapy practice.

I often begin sessions with somatic grounding practices to help clients feel present, connected, and supported. Together, we explore root issues and identify barriers to change. Through DBT-informed self-compassion, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness practices, I support clients in strengthening self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries, and building practical coping skills that foster growth, harmony, and transformation.

In our work together, we identify underlying concerns, shift unhelpful patterns, and develop tools that support you in creating a life that feels meaningful and aligned with your values. Everyone encounters challenges, and I am here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you through each step of your healing process.
