About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana and in Texas with over twenty years of experience working in social services and over two years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and challenges with self-harming. In sessions I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

My counseling style is Person-centered, strength based and empowering. I understand that we all come to the table with our own unique challenges and strengths, and I strive to meet you where you are. I tailor sessions to meet your individual need with the understanding that you are the expert of your life.

If life is feeling a little overwhelming and your feeling weighed down by feelings of anxiety and depression, I am here to support, motivate and empower you. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your challenges, building meaningful relationships and developing more tools for your toolbox.

Congratulations! It took a lot of courage to take the first step. You should be very proud of yourself. I look forward to meeting you and traveling this journey with you.

Margaret is great! I've been with her a year and Talking with her has been insightful and healing

Margaret has gotten me to start peeling back the layers and really open up which is very difficult for me. She does not force anything and allows you to progress in your own time. She very easy to talk to and non-judgmental.

Margaret helped me deal with the sudden loss of both my parents in a short amount of time, plus a terrible boyfriend. She is kind, understanding, she has similar situations and concerns, listens with empathy and compassion, and provides worksheets for references and studying. I looked forward to my sessions with Margaret each week and I'm sorry to end. Thank you Margaret, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for everything that you do, I greatly appreciate and look forward to our weekly conversations you’ve really helped me grow and give me insight on things I would not have been able to figure out without your help. You truly do help me in ways I couldn’t have ever imagined.

My experience with Margret has been very good. I feel heard and challenged in a healthy way. I still have a ways to go but I feel the talks we’ve had have made an impact.
