Hi, I’m Margot. I’m glad you’re here. Seeking therapy is a powerful and courageous step, and I honor the trust it takes to begin this process. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship — with others, with yourself, and with the systems we navigate every day. I work from a foundation that is trauma-informed, affirming, and collaborative. You are the expert in your life; I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your strengths and explore what’s getting in the way of the life you want.
What that means in practice is that I bring curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for your lived experience — while also offering concrete tools, thoughtful reflection, and a safe space to process and grow.
I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients, working professionals experiencing burnout, and those navigating identity exploration, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, or self-worth struggles. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered — a space where every part of you is welcome.
