Blue Compass Therapy
Working with Margaret
My work is informed by a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
• Mindful Self-Compassion
• Motivational Interviewing
• Relational and Psychodynamic Therapy
• Parts Work / Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Trauma-Informed Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT)
• Harm Reduction
• Somatic-based frameworks
Alongside these, I have trained extensively in trauma and psychedelic-assisted therapies, including MDMA and ketamine-assisted therapy. I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University in 2014, and have been licensed in California since 2018.
What’s the first session like?
We'll talk about what's been feeling hard, what you'd like to change, and what helps you feel at ease. From there, we'll start identifying some early steps toward relief and clarity.
My clients often describe that they leave feeling a little lighter, with a sense that change is possible.
Our work is about learning to be on your own side, even while you're still figuring things out.
