“I learned more about tracking and treating complex trauma from a relational perspective in consultation with Margie than I have in any other supervisory relationship. Her strong capacity for containment coupled with her compassion in our relationship clearly translated into my clinical work and relationships with my own clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking clinical training, consultation, or therapy, particularly in regards to trauma work.”
--Michelle Jurkiewicz, MFT
My years of experience working with clients who are dealing with trauma of all kinds has prepared me to train and teach psychotherapists who are seasoned or are new to the field. I am trained as a Clinical Social Worker, which gives me a solid and unique perspective on understanding people within their life circumstances, and I work as a relational psychodynamic psychotherapist in my practice. I am excited about what I have learned, through deep and lengthy clinical relationships, through the mistakes I have made, and through the supervision, consultation and teaching I have done in over 35 years of practice. I am delighted to share my expertise in forming and working within relationships, with sociocultural realities and with trauma.
