You want to feel better. Less overwhelmed. More connected. Like yourself again. Hi, I’m Megan — a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of experience supporting adults through life’s most emotionally complex and overwhelming seasons. I specialize in helping individuals work through anxious/avoidant attachment, depression/isolation, low self-esteem, relationship issues, toxic family dynamics, and the kind of emotional overload that makes it hard to breathe, think clearly, or feel like yourself. My approach is rooted in authenticity, grounded presence, and a deep respect for your lived experience. Whether you’re navigating a painful breakup, stuck in patterns that leave you feeling invisible or “too much,” recovering from burnout, or simply trying to reconnect with your sense of joy and purpose, our work together will be a space for healing and honest reflection. I hold space for both the messy and meaningful parts of your story, helping you slow down, explore your inner world, and develop sustainable tools for emotional regulation, clarity, and growth. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, emotionally steady, and connected — both to yourself and to the life you want to create. Therapy with me is not about perfection, it’s about reclaiming your voice, your needs, and your inner peace.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My sessions are largely led by you, the client. I firmly believe that each client is their own expert, and it is my duty to help navigate and offer insight, education and support to help you decide how to approach your goals. I enjoy the use of humor in sessions and sessions are typically conversational in nature. 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. I provide "homework" and exercises/interventions to use between sessions, if you find that having additional support and accountability helps you reach your goals, I am open to feedback and am flexible in my approach. I want to know what works for you!

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.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I’m best positioned to help adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful relational patterns, or disconnected from their sense of self. Many of my clients are high-functioning but internally exhausted — carrying the weight of anxious attachment, people-pleasing, low self-worth, or unresolved family dynamics. They often describe themselves as the “strong one,” the caregiver, or the peacekeeper in their relationships, yet feel unseen or unsupported when it comes to their own needs. I work especially well with individuals who are introspective, sensitive, and ready to explore what’s beneath the surface. My clients are often navigating major transitions — such as relationship changes, career shifts, or healing from past trauma — and want a space where they can be deeply heard, not just “fixed.” They’re seeking tools to regulate emotions, clarify boundaries, and create relationships that feel mutual and safe. Many also come to me after trying to “push through” their struggles on their own for years. If you’ve been surviving on self-blame, over-functioning, or emotional shutdown, I can help you reconnect to your inner world with curiosity instead of criticism. Together, we’ll create space for healing, insight, and lasting change grounded in your values and emotional truth.
