Processing one's feelings, life events, problems and mental health symptoms can feel overwhelming. Margo's approach is genuine and compassion driven, and she believes often times we just need some guidance and curiosity to get to the core of what we are experiencing. Margo provides a strength based approach, one that is empowering and collaborative, particularly those who have low self worth/self esteem, immense guilt/shame, trauma, depression, anxiety, profound grief and substance and alcohol use disorders. As an Art Therapist, Margo understands there are not always words to describe how we feel. Art therapy is rooted in the process and finding different ways to explore and be curious about ourselves and whatever issues we are facing. You'd be surprised what comes out when we nurture our inner child! Margo is a trained Art Therapist and Counselor, who believes therapy is a radical act of self love.

 

Margo works with all people! Margo has worked in community non-profits, detention centers, addiction treatment settings, in behavioral health, in schools, with children, adolescents, gender non-conforming individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ Community.

I am originally from Washington DC. I arrived in Dover Delaware in 2014 pursuing a bachelor's degree in Social Work and in 2020 I graduated from Delaware State University with a masters degree in social work. I consider myself a life long learner and I strive daily to be an agent of change.

​

I have nearly 5 years of experience working in a variety of settings (congregant care, after school programming, inpatient, alternative school) with youth from various backgrounds utilizing a trauma informed approach. My theoretical orientation of choice is CBT however, I am aware that each client's needs differ and pull from a variety of approaches when necessary. My overall goal as a clinician is to assist clients in overcoming barriers relating to their mental health so that they are able to thrive and cope with struggles that may arise in day to day life and keep going! In the words of Michelle Obama "becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. “The journey doesn't end"

I began my journey into the mental health field by obtaining a dual master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Dance/Movement Therapy from Lesley University. I have worked in multiple settings including group homes, memory care units, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and in the community. I have worked with all ages and have facilitated group and individual counseling as well as provided crisis intervention support. I utilize a multidisciplinary approach and often incorporate dance/movement therapy techniques to increase grounding and embodiment during talk therapy sessions. My goal is to provide a safe space to process feelings surrounding past and present life experiences. As Mr. Rogers said, “When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.”
