Somatic Therapy to Uncover your Wholeness

Mind Body Therapy

The Method

This practice is built on the knowledge that there is no separation between mind and body, and that the most transformative healing occurs when we work at the deepest level we can contact, without strain . The methods I use have arisen from a synthesis of my own healing journey, from work with clients, and from being a student of life. They are what I currently offer in this ever-evolving experience of how healing and growth happens. Take a look below for some more information about how these different therapy methods can help you create something new in your life.

Services: How I Can Help You

The services offered are designed to unwind stuck patterns from the seed, and to create the appropriate container of safety that will allow you to move towards the patterns and experiences that are getting in the way of deeper contact with yourself, and thus with all of life. We can meet outdoors in the openness of nature, stay in the comfort of a cozy office, or you can stay in your house and we can meet online. Relational wounding is healed in safe community, and groups and workshops faciliate that. My goal is for my clients to leave feeling more empowered and more in contact with who they really are, more whole. Browse the practice areas below to see how I can help you.

Welcome!

What if you knew yourself not as a problem to be fixed, not as a product to improve,  but as a sacred mystery to be explored, lovingly, tenderly, with infinite curiosity? 

And if life, too, was not to be dominated or done correctly, but an endless mystery that invites you in, deeper, deeper, ever deeper?

And what if that knowledge was not just conceptual knowledge, but embodied knowledge–alive and known, effortlessly, throughout your whole being?

I love working with adults who want to rediscover, or come to know for the first time, peace and belonging within their own life,  and the confidence to live authentically and to feel alive and connected and at home in the flow of their own life.

I work well with people who are looking to bring their lives into more alignment with their deepest intentions and to illuminate and dissolve the obstacles that keep them misaligned, that keep them stuck in outdated protective patterns. I also work well with people who have experienced trauma (including severe childhood trauma), and are looking for a safe space for deep healing, as well as those on a journey of self-actualization who desire space to process, digest, and metabolize growth and change and collaborate with someone to bring more focus.

I combine methods from talk therapy, body-centered methods, and coaching. Body-centered methods help us become more available to connection, and restore aliveness and presence and flow in ways that work deeper and along more non-linear paths than talking alone. Talking and understanding is also an important part of the process–especially for the desired changes to become more fully integrated. 

We can meet in my office, go for a walk in the woods, or meet virtually. My aim is always to create a safe space, welcoming all parts of you and your experiences so that you can start to open to a sense of peace, spaciousness, aliveness, connection and belonging that will guide you through all the waves of life. A sense of peace, spaciousness, aliveness, connection and belonging that is unconditional.

“A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing — a flower in the process of expressing its potential.”

– Timothy Gallwey

What People are Saying

able to move through serious trauma

“I had the incredible privilege of working with Margaret this past summer during an hour long brainspotting session. Immediately, I felt at ease and thanks to Margaret’s calm and guiding nature, and years of expertise, I was able to move through some serious trauma that had been holding me back. Healing is a never ending journey, or so I’ve come to discover, but what’s amazing about this experience – and every experience I’ve had with Margaret – is the ability to face your fears and suppressed memories in the comfort of a safe and judgment-free space. Nothing is more important to me than peace of mind these days, and Margaret’s techniques and wisdom have served me a great deal in this area of my life. To this day, I continue to be grateful for the work she promotes and for the healing she has provided me in the process. Looking forward to my next session!”

Brainspotting client

Margaret is an excellent guide through the tough times

“Margaret is an excellent guide through the tough times that I’ve been facing. She is a wonderful listener and I never felt judged with her in any ways, which is what I was most worried about in speaking to a therapist.“

- Client

Made me feel understood and valued

“The shared experience of being mothers made me feel understood and valued. (Margaret) has a calmness and gentleness that really put me at ease. I learned a lot during our sessions. I identified a lot of underlying belief systems that were causing some of my discomfort and showing themselves after having a baby.”

- Client

She’s offered new ideas and approaches

“Margaret has been a major help to me for dealing with anxiety and depression. She’s offered new ideas and approaches that I had never even thought of”

- Client

Margaret was very down to earth

“Margaret was very down to earth, met me where I was, and led me where I wanted to go.”

- Client

Like talking to a very informed friend

“(Working with Margaret) felt like talking to a very informed friend or colleague vs being talked down to. I really appreciated how informed she was at all times”.

- individual therapy client

I continue to benefit from the work we did

“(Brainspotting with Margaret) helped me to process the trauma in a different, more direct and healing way than I had previously. I continue to benefit from the work we did.”

- Brainspotting client

I feel so much better having someone there…working in my favor

“Highly recommend. Margaret is such a good listener, very understanding and insightful. She helped me find different perspectives and solutions to get over mental health hurdles, without being judgmental or harsh. I feel so much better having someone there that understands me and is working in my favor.”

- Client

Clients have a wonderful experience with Margaret

Not only is Margaret a wonderful, skilled therapist, but she continues to explore and learn new ways of showing up with her clients. She is always a student, and that’s the kind of therapist I would want for myself! Clients have a wonderful experience with Margaret and know she is really present with them in the room. Her presence is very gentle, and the clients I have referred have experienced wonderful healing and insight in their work with Margaret.I love her whole body approach to healing and use of Brainspotting in her practice, as well as how she incorporates mindfulness and yoga which is wonderful for clients who already connect to these practice or are integrating it into their process for the first time. I would refer clients to Margaret anytime.
