Hi there, I'm Megan. Are you ready to unlock your full potential and lead a life you love? What if I told you that you have the power to transform your symptoms into sources of strength and resilience? I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, where you can feel safe, heard, and understood without judgment. My approach is client-centered and holistic, which means that your needs and goals are at the forefront of our work together and we will focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit. My passion is to assist individuals like you in navigating life's challenges, building resilience, and finding the inner strength to overcome obstacles. I am a compassionate and devoted therapist with a strong commitment to helping individuals and families overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am dedicated to helping clients on their journey toward emotional well-being and an improved quality of life. Together, we will work to explore your strengths, motivation, and unique path to recovery. If you're seeking a therapist who combines empathy, expertise, and a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to assisting you in your pursuit of a happier and healthier life.

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

In our sessions, you can expect a space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We'll work together to identify the challenges you're facing and develop practical strategies to overcome them. Through setting collaborative treatment goals, the hope is that you will experience an enhanced level of self-esteem, improved relationships with others, increased resilience, general symptom relief, and an overall sense of empowerment. Ultimately, the specific takeaways from therapy will depend on the individual's unique circumstances, goals, and the therapeutic approach used.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I provide a warm, empathetic, and client-centered therapy environment. I actively listen and support clients as they gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and their challenges. I utilize evidenced-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy. I employ motivational interviewing techniques to help clients explore and resolve their ambivalence toward change. I believe in emphasizing and harnessing the unique strengths and abilities of each client, by utilizing a strengths-based approach.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My specialization in anxiety and depression allows me to provide targeted and evidence-based interventions to help clients manage and overcome these challenges. I have experience working with all age groups (from toddlers to geriatric clients). My therapeutic strategies are adapted to meet the unique developmental and emotional needs of each individual. With certification in eco-systemic structural therapy, I am well-equipped to help families navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and relationships. This approach considers the interconnectedness of systems and helps create healthier, more functional relationships.
