Enough with the toxic cycles.

Therapy that puts the power back in your hands.

One day everything seems fine, and the next, you’re left questioning what went wrong.

Sound familiar? As a therapist with both professional expertise and personal experience, I know that shaky feeling all too well. When small criticisms escalate into painful conflicts. When relationships leave you feeling unheard or unworthy. And you’re left wondering if you’re the ‘crazy’ one. You don’t have to live your life walking on eggshells. Therapy with me is your safe, sacred place to process, feel validated, and find hope.

I can help you heal and reclaim your life – because I’ve walked a hard road, too.

Hi, I’m Margie – a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker with over 19 years of experience helping people of all ages.

I’ve faced my own share of life’s challenges, navigating complicated relationships, family court drama, and heartbreak. I know the gut punch of feeling misunderstood, the sting of betrayal, and the weight of trying to hold everything together when it feels like your world is crumbling.

Over 30 years of experience have given me compassion and the know-how to help people who feel like their entire life has been turned upside down. Whether it’s through individual therapy sessions, group support, or specialized coaching, I combine solid clinical training with empathy, directness, and even a little humor to help you break free from patterns that no longer serve you.

Therapy, Coaching & Training – Online or in Colorado.

In therapy, I’ll provide a non-judgmental space where you can finally breathe, talk freely, and explore strategies to navigate life’s challenges and heal from emotional wounds. With modalities like AEDP, CBT, DBT, Family Systems, inner child work a trauma-informed lens, I guide you to release shame, build resilience, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Individual Therapy

Build a sacred space where you can name the gaslighting, the snide comments, and that feeling of being utterly beat up. We’ll work through solution-focused and trauma-processing methods to renew your sense of self.

Group Therapy

Mothers dealing with manipulative exes, adults recovering from family court nightmares – group sessions validate your experiences while you share with others who know exactly how twisted narcissistic abuse can get.

Coaching & Consultation

If you’re out of state or caught in shenanigans with custody battles and legal intimidation, I’ll guide you toward next steps. Practical boundaries, emotional safety, and “Am I the problem, or is this environment insane?” clarity.

Training & Workshops

Clinicians, school counselors, and healthcare providers often miss subtle manipulative tactics. I teach you to recognize the red flags, protect victims early, and see how kids get weaponized in these dynamics.

My book:

The Case of Nightmare in Hostage Hills

Our Nightmare books, Nightmare in Hostage Hills, is a case study that exposes how charming narcissists manipulate children, smear the other parent, and slip through family court cracks. It’s packed with 30 years of research and real examples of gaslighting, isolation, and psychological warfare. I also wrote The Case of Nightmare in Hostage Hills a Provider’s Manual to help professionals see the red flags more clearly, so they can intervene before the harm spirals out of control.

If your gut says “it’s time,” let’s talk.

Maybe the voice telling you “this is too much” is finally getting louder. Let’s follow that instinct and set you on a path toward grounded confidence and real peace.
