Intro
Hi, I'm Margarita, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) passionate about helping adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical support. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build resilience and confidence both inside and outside of session.
How would you describe your approach to care?
My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other interventions based on your individual needs. I believe in meeting you where you are while building on your strengths and helping you develop practical tools for lasting change. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel safe exploring challenges and moving toward meaningful growth.
What should be expected in the first session?
During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know one another and discussing what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, personal history, and what you hope to accomplish through counseling. Together, we'll identify goals that feel meaningful to you and begin creating a treatment plan tailored to your needs. My priority is helping you feel comfortable, supported, and understood from the very beginning.
