About me

Hi, I'm Megan. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, facing a major life change, struggling to find balance, or working through fertility concerns, you don't have to navigate it all on your own. I also have experience supporting clients through grief and other difficult seasons of life. My goal is to create a calm and comfortable space where you can talk openly without feeling judged. We will work at a pace that feels right for you while focusing on the changes you would like to make. I'll listen, support you, and help you build practical skills that can make challenges feel more manageable. I look forward to supporting you as you work toward your goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable connection. I'll ask you about your history, what has brought you to therapy, and what you hope you will change through our work together. We'll talk about the goals that matter most to you and begin identifying steps that can help you move toward them. You do not need to have everything figured out before we meet. We can explore that together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a supportive, calm, and thoughtful approach to therapy. I have experience working with women who are managing anxiety, life changes, work-life balance, and fertility concerns. My approach can help you notice difficult thought patterns, develop healthier ways to respond to stress, stay grounded in the present, and recognize the strengths you already have. I will listen without judgment, offer reflection and support, and work with you at your pace.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I'm especially well-positioned to support client experiencing anxiety who want to better understand where their anxiety comes from and building coping skills to manage it. I also have years of experience supporting people through grief and major life changes. In addition, I work with women navigating fertility concerns and clients who are trying to create more balance in their lives. Together, we can identify what is getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward changes that feel more meaningful to you.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for as long as I have been practicing. I use CBT to help clients identify challenging and negative thoughts patterns. Then, I help clients re-frame those negative or challenging thoughts by helping them to challenge habits and learn new skills.

Motivational Interviewing

I have used Motivational Interviewing (MI) for as long as I have been practicing. I use MI by engaging with clients through active listening and open-ended questions, working with clients to identify a specific issue they want to address, encouraging clients to identify their reason for wanting to make a change and creating a plan together to reach the client's goals.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I have used Mindfulness-Based Therapy for as long as I have been practicing. I use Mindfulness-Based Therapy by teaching clients skills to focus on their thoughts and feelings in the present moment. Then, helping clients to be able to step back and create space for their thoughts and feelings and respond to the thoughts and feelings with calm.

Strength-Based

I use Strength-Based Therapy to help clients identify what they naturally do well, re-frame what they do not naturally do well and apply their natural strengths to help them through challenges.
