Message from Megan

Congratulations on taking the initial steps towards healing! I cannot stress this enough; it’s wonderful that you care about your mental health. I see a wonderful change happening in society where people can finally feel safe to talk about their life experiences and not feel stigmatized. I’m one of the therapists actively working towards improved mental health care for all.

As you take this important journey towards self-awareness and healing, you may feel the uncertainties that life throws your way. It can naturally make you feel isolated, misunderstood, anxious, and even defeated when you can’t see the path that lies before you. I want to be that companion who walks with you as we navigate our way out of the darkness. I love sitting with my clients in a safe and caring environment as we openly express ourselves. Beautiful progress is made when you feel like you’re being listened to and genuinely supported. I strive for this kind of interaction and my former clients agree.

I’m passionate with helping my clients navigate challenging life transitions, implement healthy boundaries, improve overall self-esteem, manage stress, journey through trauma and grief, develop healthy communication within relationships, advocate for their freedoms, and promote self-care. 

I support your overall self-discovery knowing that the mind, body, and spirit are all connected. I also thrive with helping others find their meaning and purpose in life. 

As a professional therapist, I strive to support your overall therapeutic growth while providing genuine empathy and a healing connection. 

As a fellow person, who has faced her own obstacles, I strive to walk with you on your life’s journey while rooting for you every step of the way!
