Hi, I’m Margaret De Jager. I work with adults who are tired of feeling pulled around by old pain. Maybe you shut down in relationships, react more strongly than you want to, or feel ashamed of needs you do not fully understand. Sometimes childhood wounds, grief, addiction, or trauma leave you stuck between wanting closeness and wanting to protect yourself. Therapy can help you make sense of those patterns with more compassion and less self-blame.
I support adults navigating trauma, childhood adversity, shame, grief, relationship struggles, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the people I work with have spent a long time in survival mode and are exhausted by patterns that no longer serve them. My background in psychiatric nursing helps me stay steady with intense emotions, painful histories.
I bring warmth, honesty, and steadiness into the room. I use inner child work and IFS informed ideas to help you understand the parts of yourself that learned to survive by people pleasing, shutting down, staying guarded, or reaching for unhealthy coping. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can feel less stuck in the same old patterns.
