Hi! I’M MARGRETTA.
Through the practical approaches centered on psychology and spiritual intelligence, I have witnessed numerous healings from past trauma, restorations for broken relationships, freedom from emotional or mental hardships, and miraculous transformation in people’s lives.
Beauty for ashes. It’s never too late to start a change. As long as you commit yourself to intentional work and practice, you can reclaim that healthy and powerful self as well.
A licensed therapist and Christian coach.
With years of interdisciplinary background in counseling, pastoring, and leadership, I’m here to provide compassionate listening, practical tools, and spiritual guidance to help you reclaim that healthy and powerful self!
I’m here to help you get on this transformative process.
What do I offer
My Work Approaches
-
Drawing from the two wells of wisdom and experiences, I integrate cognitive, behavioral, and emotional theories in psychology with a focus on the spiritual intelligence: the transcendent meaning, purpose, and values of human lives in Christ to help you develop better self-awareness, embrace compassion and empathy, and understand the root causes of any emotional or spiritual brokenness.
-
I naturally spot the “gold” in people wherever I go because I believe that everyone is made in the image of God, and everyone was uniquely created to display an aspect of God’s nature.
Being an encourager brings such joy and fulfillment to me. “There’s always another way” is a motto of my life. Because with God, nothing is too hard. As you pursue to become more emotionally and spiritually healthier, you are pursuing to be more Christ-like. Whether the journey is challenging or easy, I’ll be next to you to encourage and remind you of the HOPE that’s in Him.

Everyone could use a listening ear, especially during the hardest moments in life. Compassion shouldn’t come with conditions or judgement, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you.
In additional of caring and tending to your needs, I also place a high value on leaning into the voice of God for our time together. “For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.“ 1 Corinthians 2:10 (NLT)
The Holy Spirit knows your heart and your deepest desire better than anyone. He also holds the key to your breakthrough and transformation.

“If it’s not practical, then it’s probably useless.“ I once heard someone made such a comment, and I agree with it to a certain degree. Often times, counseling and coaching can sound like a “talking“ business without lasting effects. It makes people feel better in the moment but after awhile, they might get stuck again.
My goal as I work with clients is “to be fired” asap. Keeping you in my work is probably not a sign of success for me. I love the practicals because they can be duplicated and they carry the power for sustaining changes.
In our time together, other than listening and creating space for you, I’ll also ask hard questions, brainstorm creative solutions, and help you build practical steps to implement to not only create healing and restoration, but also sustainable changes.
Be Healed. Be Empowered. Be Free.
