Therapy with Margaret
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including:

• Mindfulness and somatic practices
• Motivational interviewing
• Relational and psychodynamic therapy
• Parts work (IFS-informed)
• Trauma-informed CBT
• Harm reduction
• Compassion-based frameworks

What does that look like in practice?

We’ll try somatic and mindfulness-based practices to help you reconnect with your body, build a felt sense of safety, and learn from your physical experience - so that feelings stop hijacking you and start informing you.
