As a licensed therapist, Marymargaret has helped numerous couples and individuals achieve amazing personal transformations, resolve long-standing emotional issues, and develop more satisfying relationships.
" My personal statement can briefly be summed up in the Serenty Prayer "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Those are the keys..acceptance, courage, and widom, guided by faith. I feel that's what I bring to the table. Many people have a good education or years of experience. But a great therapist must also inspire, motivate, comfort, and empower their clients to fully engage in their own journey to greater fulfillment, affection, and wholeness".

Interests: I provide therapy and counseling from a Christian perspective for hurting couples, families, and individuals. If you are impacted by infidelity, struggling with your children, or dealing with feelings of stress and isolation, my desire for you is to experience more of God’s love, strength and healing in your life.
Our human nature ensures that we will encounter difficulties and suffering. Our spiritual nature ensures that we can experience security, freedom, and serenity as a child of God. You can benefit from working with a faith-anchored therapist who understands the role of these issues in your life.
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. - I Corinthians 14:33
God is definitely in the business of healing what's broken. As a therapist, I am touched that I am not only part of His family, but have been led to participate in this sacred work.
