Hi, I'm Margo
In the therapeutic relationship, I aim to create a brave and safe space for us to navigate whatever circumstances are troubling to you. I have a primary interest in working with trauma, self esteem, life transitions, and relationships. My practice is rooted in integrity, humility, and evidence based practices. I utilize various modalities to best suit you, such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Family Based Therapy (FBT) and CBT-E for eating disorders.
As a Registered Social Worker with experience across multiple sectors of health and education, I work with adolescents, families, young adults, and adults through various mental health concerns. My style is relational, transparent, and gentle.
My style is very relational, transparent, and gentle. I do my best to find ways to support and challenge you. It is a gift to listen to people share their life's story - I feel honoured to support you. I can't wait to meet you!
