You don’t have to blow up your life to start living more honestly.

Therapy and coaching for the messy middle — when you’re ready to feel more like yourself again.

Hi, I’m Margot (she/her): a California associate therapist and life coach helping thoughtful, heart-centered adults reconnect with themselves, set boundaries, and rediscover joy.

If you’re feeling burned out, stuck in people-pleasing, or unsure who you are beyond your roles, you’re not broken. You’re just ready for a different way of living.

This is a space where you can slow down, get honest, and start finding your way back to yourself.

WHAT I OFFER

Therapy (California residents)

  • Online sessions for burnout, anxiety, identity exploration, and relationship patterns.

  • Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), feminist theory, and compassion

Life Coaching (Nationwide)

  • Goal-focused guidance for reconnecting with purpose, rebuilding self-trust, and making intentional changes, without perfectionism leading the way.

(All sessions are held online for comfort and accessibility.)

  • Burnout & Boundaries

  • Bi+ & LGBTQ+ Affirming Support

  • Anxiety & Overthinking

  • Self-Confidence & People-Pleasing Recovery

  • Life Transitions & Purpose

Therapy with me is collaborative, you’re the expert on your life.
I’m here to listen deeply, offer perspective, and help you build tools that actually work in your real world.

Clients describe me as warm, direct, and real — someone who can hold space for both laughter and hard truths.
