Psychotherapy can help you make sense of complicated feelings, gain insight into relational patterns, and begin to move forward in areas of your life where you feel stuck. My focus is to help you untangle struggles, revise problematic narratives about yourself, and re-orient you toward your values. I offer individual and couples therapy, psychological assessments (including ADHD and ASD), and gender affirming evaluation services. My integrative approach is informed by psychodynamic, behavioral, and trauma informed theories. I am trained in EMDR. Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship and your personal growth.

I’m Margaux (she/her). As the child of immigrants and a mother through foster care and adoption, I have lived experience of othering, marginalization, struggle, and triumph. I am a human rights activist and a creative at heart who recognizes the inherent worth of all people and the breathtaking beauty of diversity and difference. I am drawn to therapy because of the transformative nature of connection and the power contained in sharing our stories to change our realities. I am a graduate of Gallaudet University’s MSW program and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).

I have experience working with survivors of sexual assault and certified in trauma-informed therapy. This works by using somatic techniques and mindfulness to bring awareness to your body. The approach is a “bottom-up” method, where importance is placed on body sensations that tap into your internal wisdom to find relief.

The ideal client is someone who’s tired of merely surviving and is ready to reclaim their life. They may be: Struggling with substance use (alcohol, opioids, marijuana, cocaine, or polysubstance use) and the emotional weight that comes with it. Living with unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling emotionally stuck. Experiencing instability — housing challenges, strained relationships, financial stress, or legal issues. Feeling disconnected from their purpose, unsure of how to rebuild or where to start.

You may have come here because something is not working in your life and you want it better or because you want more from life. I come with my training, my 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist, my many more years of life experience, my mind, good heart and my intention to heal. You come with your issues, your past, perhaps with your anxiety, depression, or guilt. You also come with your strengths, some of which you might not recognize, and upon which we will build. I believe we are equal as humans, just sitting different chairs. I look forward to working with you.

At Elite Behavioral Therapy, I believe you are the author of your own experience and the expert on your own life. But sometimes even experts need advice. Perhaps you have wondered why there isn’t a how-to manual for your own life. Or thought that others seem to know the secret ingredient to the recipe for a successful relationship. There is no magical formula for happiness. But I can be your guide, and help you dispel the myths and negative stories that you have told yourself that's getting in the way of your happiness. Worries, stresses, joy, and hopes? I can help you better manage the conflicts everyone struggles.

I believe every person has the ability to grow and transform. I believe that we can best do so when accompanied compassionately along our journeys. Through increasing self-awareness, cultivating our inner and external resources, and understanding the interconnected influences of mind and body in our daily lives, we can transform through painful times and arrive into greater and deeper capacity for relationships to ourselves and with others. I specialize in working with adults through trauma healing, grief and loss (including that of beloved animals), LGBTQIA+ identities and relationships, depression/anxiety, and life transitions.
