Hi, I’m Margot. I believe therapy is about feeling safe enough to explore who you are and what you need. I’m here to help you feel more connected to yourself and others, especially during times of stress, change, or confusion.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating moments of change, confusion, and disconnection. Whether it’s a teen overwhelmed by anxiety or identity questions, or a young adult unsure how to communicate in relationships, I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where emotions are taken seriously and healing starts with being heard.

My approach is grounded in empathy, humor, and honesty. I specialize in supporting teens facing anxiety, low self-esteem, social pressure, family stress, or emotional outbursts. I also help young adults navigate cultural expectations, transitions into independence, and relationship challenges.

I have a special interest in supporting older teens and young adults working through shame, discomfort, or confusion related to emotional or physical closeness. These issues are addressed gently, at the client’s pace, and always with sensitivity and appropriateness to cultural and developmental context.

My work is especially attuned to those who feel “different” whether because of cultural background, body image, or family values. As someone who grew up across cultures, I know how overwhelming it can feel to straddle different worlds. My goal is to help clients feel like they don’t have to choose between them.

I am completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am especially interested in relational concerns, and I practice from a person-centered and feminist lens. Sessions with me are collaborative, warm, and focused on emotional safety and authentic connection.

If you’re looking for support, I would be honored to walk with you.

Anxiety & Stress in Teens (12-18)

Adolescence is full of pressure: school demands, social comparison, perfectionism, and the quiet weight of wanting to “keep it together.” I work with teens who feel overwhelmed, stuck in worry, or physically tense from always being “on.”

Together, we build tools to manage anxiety, speak kindly to themselves, and reconnect with what makes them feel grounded. Therapy can be a place where teens breathe a little easier and parents feel less alone too.

Self-Esteem & Identity Development (12–30)

Whether it’s a middle schooler unsure of where they fit in, or a college student wrestling with their future, identity development can feel lonely and confusing.

I support clients in building confidence, resilience, and a clearer sense of who they are. We explore not just who they want to be, but how to express that self in the world, even when it feels risky. For many, this work becomes the turning point in how they relate to themselves and others.

Relationships, Boundaries & Growing Up (Ages 14–30)

Friendships, dating, and family dynamics can feel overwhelming, especially during times of transition.

I help adolescents and young adults learn how to set boundaries, advocate for themselves, and tune into what feels good, safe, and real in relationships. Whether it’s learning to say no without guilt or navigating people-pleasing patterns, this work is often a relief for both the client and their caregivers.

Gentle Support for Sexual & Body-Based Concerns (Adults, 18+)

Our relationship to our body and closeness with others can be shaped by culture, pain, shame, trauma, or simply never having space to talk about it. I offer respectful, paced support for adults navigating discomfort, confusion, or disconnection in this area.

This work often blends emotional healing with a return to self-trust, it’s never rushed, always attuned. While this specialty is focused on adults, many teens and families find comfort knowing they’re working with someone who can hold these topics with sensitivity, should they arise later.

Women Struggling with Sexual Desire and Intimacy

If you are feeling distant from your body or unsure about what you want in your relationships or sex life, you are not alone.

Many women come to therapy because they feel something is missing. Sometimes desire fades. Sometimes it never felt fully present. You may feel confused or even ashamed. These feelings are very real, and they can be painful to carry alone.

We live in a world that does not always give women space to talk openly about their sexuality. You may have learned to stay quiet. You may have grown up with messages that made sex feel wrong, unsafe, or something only meant to please others. These messages can stay in your body for a long time.

Past trauma, medical struggles, stress, and cultural or family pressure can also make things more complicated. Over time, it can feel like your voice has been pushed down and your needs don’t matter.

But they do.

You deserve a space where you can be fully yourself. A space where you do not have to explain or perform. A space where you can explore your story gently and begin to reconnect with what you want and who you are.

For Fun…

Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me walking by the lake with almond coffee in hand, binge-reading psychology books, or laughing with my husband and friends over something ridiculous. I’m a big fan of cozy clothes, good storytelling, and slowing down, which probably explains why I love this work so much.

In my free time, I find joy and freedom in dance. Zumba has become my sanctuary—a space where I can let go of worries and allow my body to move naturally with the rhythm. There’s something magical about jumping and twirling, letting my hands and feet follow the music without overthinking. It’s not just fun; it’s a reminder to live in the moment and embrace the lightness life has to offer.
