My ideal client is a person who is having a hard time processing or coping with a trauma or a person who has had a few difficulties in their life that has made it hard for them to continue with life how they know it. They want to be able to get back to normal life, but they can't figure it out on their own and they need support and guidance from another. Their goal would be to get back to life as they know it and continue with reaching their personal goals.

Hello! My name is Margaret and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. My work is tailored to the individual client and integrates multiple modalities based on their specific needs. My job is not to fix or change people, but to facilitate a growth process in which clients can become more aligned with themselves, heal pain from the past or present, and explore and affirm what lies within. I firmly believe that even my youngest of clients are the expert on their own lived experience, and that much of my work is to help them see more clearly the potential and strength that was there before they even began therapy.
