You want to feel better. Less overwhelmed. More connected. Like yourself again. Hi, I’m Meg — a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping adults untangle emotional overload, anxious attachment, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and toxic family dynamics. My work is rooted in authenticity and deep emotional presence. Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, recovering from burnout, or trying to rediscover joy and clarity in your life, I provide a space where you can exhale, explore your inner world, and build real tools to feel empowered again. I specialize in guiding women (especially Gen X, millennial, and Gen Z clients) through the often invisible labor of being the “strong one.” Clients often come to me feeling exhausted, dysregulated, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to shift — and together, we explore what’s underneath the surface.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I draw from the following approaches to help you meet your goals: Attachment Theory to explore how early relationships shape current dynamics DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to teach practical tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance Polyvagal Theory to help you understand your nervous system and how to work with it (not against it) Experiential Therapy to create powerful emotional shifts through present-moment awareness I'm not a "smile and nod" kind of therapist — I'm actively engaged, reflective, and deeply invested in helping you make meaningful changes. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious, and strengthen your ability to regulate emotions, set boundaries, and connect to your authentic self.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a counselor lie in my compassionate, holistic approach and my deep commitment to supporting clients through their unique challenges. With over 10 years of experience, I have developed the ability to truly connect with individuals, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and understood. My background in Community Counseling, along with my experience in both private practice and community mental health environments, has equipped me with the versatility to address a wide range of issues, from chronic mental health conditions to relationship struggles and trauma. I believe in a collaborative approach, where the client’s input is always valued in the healing process. I focus on long-term growth and resilience, helping clients uncover the roots of their struggles and guiding them toward lasting change. My goal is to empower clients to move forward with confidence, peace, and renewed hope for their future.

Attachment-based
Attachment theory helps clients understand how early relationships with caregivers shape their emotional development and influence their behavior in later relationships. It addresses issues such as trust, emotional regulation, and the ability to form secure, healthy connections. Clients may explore challenges related to anxiety, fear of abandonment, or difficulties in intimacy, often linked to insecure attachment styles. By identifying these patterns, attachment theory offers insights for healing and fostering more secure, fulfilling relationships, both personally and professionally.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) can help by providing practical, skills-based tools to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive or self-sabotaging behaviors, and improve relationship dynamics. Through core modules like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, clients learn how to respond to overwhelming situations with more clarity and control. DBT creates a structured path toward emotional resilience, helping clients shift from feeling reactive and powerless to feeling more grounded, capable, and in alignment with their values.
Polyvagal Therapy
Polyvagal Theory helps clients understand how their nervous system responds to stress, threat, and safety, offering a compassionate framework for why they may feel anxious, shut down, or emotionally overwhelmed. By recognizing these physiological states, clients can begin to notice their triggers and learn body-based techniques—like grounding, breathwork, or movement—to regulate their system. This approach empowers clients to shift out of survival mode and into a more connected, calm, and present state, creating the foundation for deeper emotional healing and healthier relationships.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy helps clients access and process emotions that may be difficult to articulate through traditional talk therapy alone. By engaging in creative, somatic, or action-based techniques—such as guided imagery, role-play, or expressive arts—clients can connect more deeply with their inner experiences and uncover underlying emotional patterns. This approach supports emotional release, insight, and transformation, allowing clients to move through stuck places, heal unresolved pain, and feel more authentic, empowered, and connected to themselves.
