Marguerite's training and experience qualify her to provide social casework psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. She is also able to discuss pastoral and spiritual concerns.
Marguerite's overall approach seeks to provide a secure, empathetic relationship in which to safely discuss the clients problems and concerns. Her main goal will be to work together to resolve them as far as possible and to promote personal growth, inner healing, increased self-awareness, and healthy and meaningful relationships. This is a “client centered” process in which the client determines the particular issues to discuss and explore in a given session. It also is a “faith-friendly” process in which spiritual and religious concerns can be discussed, if the client chooses to do so.
