Margaret has a degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Pennsylvania State University and completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. She is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in the state of New Jersey. Margaret completed her RYT200 in Trauma-Informed Yoga Instruction for Mental Health Professionals through the Sakala School of Integrated Teaching. She is a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Margaret’s integrated approach is based on healing through empathy, relationship, and connection. She believes in providing a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment for engaging the mind and body in the therapeutic process. Therapy sessions create a space for each unfolding story and set of life experiences and to collaboratively set goals towards developing tools and building coping skills, while also deepening the connection to the body and inner resources.
Margaret incorporates a variety of approaches and practices that draw from psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed yoga, mind-body modalities, CBT/DBT, nature therapy, and expression through the creative arts.
