My name is Megan. Not therapist Megan. I am an authentic individual who strives to really help people in meeting them where they are at and helping them in their journey of life. In session I am typically empathetic, compassionate, psychoeducational, and solution oriented to help aide people in obtaining their goals. Most important to me is the relationship built in therapy based on the foundation of non-judgment.
