Margot is currently working towards a master’s degree in in Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Theological Seminary. She believes healing comes from creating safety within the container of secure, trustworthy relationships where one can experience feeling seen and known. From a place of felt safety, parts of ourselves that have been buried by pain can emerge to tell the stories of harm and begin to heal. It is a great honor and privilege to come alongside individuals, couples, and families during times of great need and distress because breakthrough and deeper relationship with self and other have immense potential to unfold. Often, we find ourselves when we look at the pain we have been carrying and have the courage to unpack it with a compassionate, empathetic other.
Margot has experience working with children in a school setting and understands how our environment shapes development. Additionally, Margot has a special interest working with children, adolescents, couples, and families who have been impacted by addiction. She understands the heartbreak of addiction – and recovery – on the family and is well versed in 12-step recovery. Margot is also passionate about working with women going through life transitions.
Drawing from a variety of approaches, Margot comes from both a person-centered and family systems perspective and is currently receiving training in Restoration Therapy, an approach to emotional regulation which looks closely at deeply held messages around identity and safety.
