Hi, I'm Margery!

Welcome!

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen” - Brené Brown

Starting therapy can feel intimidating; letting your guard down and truly revealing your vulnerability takes courage. Effective counseling requires an authentic connection with a therapist, allowing you to feel safe, seen and heard. 

I believe every human has the right to feel safe, to feel peace of mind, to pursue a better life, and to be treated with dignity and respect. It would be my privilege to hear your story, learn about your goals, and to walk alongside you on your journey of growth and self-healing.

In the therapy room:

During our sessions, I want to meet you where you are at and ensure every step taken is at the right pace for you. I believe in utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches to best help you meet your goals. I will show up with curiosity, compassion, kindness & humor, and will provide a non-judgmental, safe space for you to explore your sense of self and find your path in life.

My therapy specialty areas include:

ADHD/neurodivergence, life transitions, and trauma.

My training as a therapist:

I received my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology from Michigan State University, and am in my second year at Northern Michigan University in their Master of Social Work program.

My previous internship was at Lincoln Behavioral Services in their adult outpatient program. I also have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in behavioral health settings.

Outside of the therapy office:

I’ll likely be with my family, spending time outdoors; whether it’s hiking, camping, swimming or learning how to garden, I feel at peace when connected with nature. I seek out experiences that remind me to slow down and be fully present in the moment, and enjoy getting lost in the flow of activities like drawing, watercolor painting and beachcombing.
