Through her experience working with adults of all backgrounds, Margaret finds it integral to incorporate clients’ contexts into the therapeutic setting. Her passion is working with individuals and couples affected by depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, life transitions, societal concerns, interpersonal relationships, and grief.

As part of this therapeutic collaboration, Margaret provides psychoeducation to foster awareness and growth in clients’ journey to healing. She incorporates a variety of therapeutic tools and techniques that help clients evaluate their emotional patterns and states.
