Meet the Clinical Team!
I have experience working as a therapist with in-home services, outpatient, and residential. I have worked with clients facing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, sexual/physical/emotional abuse, trauma, family conflict, LGBTQIA+, social difficulties, ADHD, obsessive compulsions, and adoption and attachment difficulties.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults but welcome all clients. I believe in taking a relational approach and building a relationship based on trust and mutual respect to empower personal growth. I also believe that there is a unique advantage to using creative and kinetic strategies and, yes, we can do that virtually!
Margaret has received additional post masters training from the Gestalt Institute, MUSC (Charleston, SC), Converse College, Grand Canyon University and is scheduled to begin work on her doctorate in the fall. Margaret works diligently with clients to set goals and assist them in finding their own unique answers to any problems they may be facing while striving to allow clients to do this at their own pace and with strong support. Margaret has been extensively trained in diagnostics and has worked in both the mental health and substance abuse areas during her career. Assessments, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused brief therapy and family systems therapy are just some of the methods Margaret utilizes with clients, couples and families.
