Hi there, my name is Megan and for over 10 years I've been helping clients who are dealing with a variety of mental health challenges, including mood disorders, anxiety, relationship conflicts, attachment issues, emotional regulation difficulties, and communication struggles. Many clients I work with have experienced trauma or stress and may be navigating complex emotional challenges, such as issues with self-esteem and identity. My therapeutic approach is centered on healing life beyond trauma, focusing on rebuilding self-worth and helping clients improve communication and conflict resolution skills within their relationships. Together, we’ll take a deep dive into the root causes of your struggles, identify and break free from limiting beliefs, and create meaningful, lasting changes that enhance your overall well-being and life satisfaction. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and empower you to lead a more fulfilling, balanced life.

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

In the first counseling session, I will focus on building a safe and trusting environment. I will ask about your current concerns, goals, and any relevant history to better understand your unique experience. This session serves as an opportunity for you to share your story and explore the challenges you are facing. Together, we will discuss your goals for therapy and begin to establish a plan for healing and growth. By the end of the session, you will feel heard, understood, and have a sense of direction for the journey ahead, knowing you have support every step of the way.

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 work with clients who may be dealing with a range of mental health challenges. These include mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder, where individuals experience intense sadness or extreme mood swings. Many also struggle with anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic disorder, leading to constant worry or overwhelming fear. I also support those with personality disorders like borderline personality disorder (BPD), which involves emotional instability, and avoidant personality disorder, where individuals feel extreme sensitivity to criticism and tend to avoid social situations. I help clients who have experienced trauma or stress and may be dealing with complex emotional challenges. Clients who struggle with self-esteem or identity issues, particularly within the LGBTQIA+ community, may come to me seeking support with self-worth or navigating societal challenges. Many clients come to me with adjustment issues, needing help managing emotional responses to life changes or societal stress. Lastly, I work with individuals facing relationship difficulties, such as communication problems, conflict, or trust issues. I help my clients explore the root causes of their struggles, heal from trauma, and rebuild self-worth, creating lasting change in their emotional lives and relationships.
