When I started with Margot I had never tried therapy before and didn’t know what to expect. She put me at ease in short order with a very supportive nature. That support allowed me to get to places that weren’t always pleasant but much needed. When they weren’t pleasant, her manner kept me in a place of safety. Over time, I’ve discovered areas of myself that I didn’t thing I could get to and found inner peace and strength to do what’s needed to lead a more fulfilling life. My communication with my partner has gotten better and the ability to stand up for myself has become easier. Is my life perfect? No, but I don’t think that’s possible for anyone. All I know is my life is much better for working with Margot. I’d recommend her to anyone.

I’ve always been fascinated by relationships. My ideal clients -- and I have many --are individuals or people in various relationships who feel they are not achieving their maximum potential -- in life, career or relationships.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
