Navigating the twists and turns of your life can be exhausting. You deserve to amplify your joys, connections, and goals. I want to make a space for you to self-express fully, feel at home in your body, and feel safe to explore into the heavier parts of your story. You might be coming to therapy to process your pregnancy or birth and parenting experiences. You might be like one of the many people who feel alone in their struggle to control their worry and fears. I promise you, you are not alone.

Transitions of any kind ask us to adjust from what is known to something that is new and confusing. I want to support you as you reconcile with change and come through the challenges with a deeper understanding of yourself and just how much you can accomplish.

The way that I practice therapy is collaborative and rooted in the belief that relationships offer healing. We will work together to come to an understanding of what your needs are in therapy.

When you come to me to work through anxiety or perinatal mental health concerns, I typically incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I will check in with you to ensure my approach is aligned with what is feeling right for you. These things take time to see changes, but most people find some relief after a 3-4 sessions.

Groups

Adolescent: Mentalization-Based Treatment

Hosted by

Margaret Rau

This group focuses on the mental processes that occur from various emotional states regarding others and the self. We explore the depressive, anxiety, overwhelming, and other feelings that disrupt our ability to interact with our own and others’ thoughts and feelings. This process allows for the growth in personal identity, family dynamics, school achievement, peer connections, and more. We encourage a flexible yet firm approach to understand our minds through various expressive techniques, both verbal and playful.

Mentalization-Based Treatment for Adults

Hosted by

Margaret Rau

Through our interactions with others, we experience different interpersonal connections, which can be harmful or positive. Varied emotional states can disrupt mental processing and create potential for misinterpreting information. These miscommunications hinder our ability to maintain relationships, foster deeper connections, and limit our identity and growth. We utilize group dynamics to explicitly discuss our emotional and cognitive processes, allowing the group members to take a curious stance to understand encounters flexibly.
