Margaret especially enjoys working with children, offering support for things like childhood behavior problems, ADHD, mood disorders, and school avoidance. She uses a variety of creative approaches, including Play Therapy and art-based therapy techniques, to help children express their feelings, develop coping skills, and work through challenges in a fun, engaging way. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), always tailoring her methods to each person’s unique needs.

Her approach is warm, empathetic, and rooted in evidence-based practices, making sure clients feel heard and supported every step of the way.

Outside of work, Margaret loves spending time outdoors—hiking and kayaking with her Golden Retriever, Beau. This love of the outdoors reflects her belief in the importance of finding balance and peace in everyday life.
