Processing one's feelings, life events, problems and mental health symptoms can feel overwhelming. Margo's approach is genuine and compassion driven, and she believes often times we just need some guidance and curiosity to get to the core of what we are experiencing. Margo provides a strength based approach, one that is empowering and collaborative, particularly those who have low self worth/self esteem, immense guilt/shame, trauma, depression, anxiety, profound grief and substance and alcohol use disorders. As an Art Therapist, Margo understands there are not always words to describe how we feel. Art therapy is rooted in the process and finding different ways to explore and be curious about ourselves and whatever issues we are facing. You'd be surprised what comes out when we nurture our inner child! Margo is a trained Art Therapist and Counselor, who believes therapy is a radical act of self love.

 

Margo works with all people! Margo has worked in community non-profits, detention centers, addiction treatment settings, in behavioral health, in schools, with children, adolescents, gender non-conforming individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ Community.

I am originally from Washington DC. I arrived in Dover Delaware in 2014 pursuing a bachelor's degree in Social Work and in 2020 I graduated from Delaware State University with a masters degree in social work. I consider myself a life long learner and I strive daily to be an agent of change.

​

I have nearly 5 years of experience working in a variety of settings (congregant care, after school programming, inpatient, alternative school) with youth from various backgrounds utilizing a trauma informed approach. My theoretical orientation of choice is CBT however, I am aware that each client's needs differ and pull from a variety of approaches when necessary. My overall goal as a clinician is to assist clients in overcoming barriers relating to their mental health so that they are able to thrive and cope with struggles that may arise in day to day life and keep going! In the words of Michelle Obama "becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. “The journey doesn't end"

I am a senior at Delaware State University majoring in Psychology.  One day I aspire to be a child and adolescent psychologist or an alcohol and drug counselor.  My love for this field expanded when I overcame my own depression and started working on my anxiety.  Dealing with this opened my eyes to how hard life really is when dealing with a mental illness and how hard it is to function with it everyday. 

 

This is where my future career as a psychologist or counselor comes into play by guiding, understanding and helping clients learn healthy and productive ways of handling their mental health or substance use challenges.  I hope that in the process of me helping and understanding them, I also help and understand myself better as well.

I am currently in my fourth year as a senior at Delaware State University and I am a Psychology major.  My aspirations in life are to one day become a psychiatrist or a psychotherapist. I am interested in helping others the best I can with any problems that they might have.  I want to be able to make a difference in people's lives and help them to feel better about themselves or specific situations.  

​

The way the mind can have a such a big impact on people's lives has always been fascinating to me!  All my life I have heard from family and friends that I am a good listener and advice giver.  I am always trying to figure out the deeper connection regarding why someone is acting, as well as, feeling the way they are.  

 

With that being said, it is one of the many reasons why I chose this field. I hope to one day apply my skills by listening to someone's hardships and feelings and be able to give life changing advice and prescribe medicine if needed.
