Hi there, I'm Margaret!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in treating individuals who suffer from persistent depression or difficulty regulating emotions, including those who find themselves using unhealthy behaviors to manage their symptoms. I join with clients to explore what keeps unhealthy patterns in place and develop new ways of coping.
My focus
I am experienced treating individuals with depression, anxiety, and developmental and complex trauma. As part of treating these conditions, I also frequently work with different types of addiction and unhealthy coping including substance use and compulsive sexual behavior.
My approach
My foundation is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is valuable in offering concrete and goal-oriented treatment. I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which I find to be especially useful with persistent depression. Treatment often includes identifying how childhood experiences and family dynamics contributed to symptoms.
