About

Hi, I am Margaret. I have spent the last couple of decades working with motivated individuals who are tired of not feeling the way they want to feel, perhaps something is missing and they feel incomplete in their own lives. If anxiety and depression are hanging around too long, it may be time to explore the core life issues that are maintaining these challenging moods. Life transitions are a part of our journey and, while some are rewarding, some are a challenge. Whether you are struggling with something personally or professionally, you could benefit from working with a therapist who understands and can help guide you through the work to initiate positive change in your life. My approach is holistic, honest, and interactive with a little humor thrown in when needed. Clients appreciate my authenticity and ability to “be real” with them regarding how best to tackle current issues and concerns. I encourage my clients to start with small steps and move toward what speaks to their heart and their values. I believe that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and that self-care is essential. My focus is on the integration of the whole person and I teach clients to look at themselves from that point of view to make sure effort goes into all areas of their lives so that balance is achieved and maintained.
