From Margaret, LMSW:
Growing up in South Louisiana, I was deeply curious about the world around me. Often asking hard questions, it took me several years and a master’s in social work to begin understanding the complexities in the answers. Today, curiosity continues to be my inner guide, while experiencing life as a queer, multiethnic person has helped me understand how our stories, identities, and past experiences shape the way we move through the world.
My therapeutic work is informed by both my clinical training and lived experience, especially in recognizing how quickly messages can take root within us and cause harm if left unexamined. I strive to create a space where anyone can feel safe, seen, and supported, just as they are, while assisting individuals in making sense of their own stories.
I use a relational approach, leveraging nonjudgement and a deep belief in the inherent value and worth of every person. Healing often begins when we allow ourselves to confront fear and discomfort in its many forms. Through these conversations, we can hold ourselves accountable to how we show up with others and make room for hope and love to flourish.
Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here with you. Together, we’ll work to cultivate growth and meaningful change. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief, life transitions, identity exploration, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, while remaining open and welcoming of all individuals looking for a place to connect and heal.
