Maggie's Focus
Play Therapist for Young Children
For children 9 years old and younger, play therapy can be a marvelous way to process traumatic events and build confidence and coping skills. Through play therapy, children express themselves in a way that is developmentally appropriate. They learn to work through their difficulties and build trust in their abilities in a supportive environment. Play therapy is an evidence-based treatment modality that has helped hundreds of thousands of children “prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development”, according to the Association for Play Therapy.
Therapy for Couples
Talking to a therapist can be a wonderfully clarifying experience for couples at any stage in their relationship: dating, partnership, premarital, even those who have been married for decades. Maggie works with couples to identify, work toward, and achieve their goals, ranging from improved communication, increasing support for one another, processing infidelity or betrayal, and developing parenting skills.
Maggie's Other Specialities
Trauma Therapy for Children, Adolescents, and Adults
For adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, whether, in childhood or later, it can often feel as if one is carrying a heavy burden. Trauma survivors may believe that things will never get better. They may experience symptoms of depression or anxiety or may struggle with substance use or eating disorders. For these individuals, it may feel as though they will never be able to get through what happened. They may feel irreparably broken.
EMDR Specialist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR Therapy, can be a wonderful treatment option for trauma survivors. Through EMDR, a person can reprocess memories of traumatic events and harness the brain’s natural ability to heal. EMDR is an evidence-based, highly researched modality and can often be completed in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. After completing EMDR therapy with a licensed clinician, trauma survivors often find they are able to leave their trauma behind and live content, peaceful lives.
