About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of CT with over 17 years of experience in social work. I have worked in a wide array of settings including therapeutic mentoring, child welfare, hospital/organ transplant and chronic illness/healthcare. My skills are eclectic as no two people are alike and their stories vary greatly. I have a lot of experience with anxiety/depression, end of life, caregiver issues, life changes and the different challenges that come with each stage of life.
My counseling style is flexible and client centered. I enjoy solution focused or goal oriented therapy as I feel relationship building is often aided by accomplishing something together. I am really open to meeting the client where they are at and developing a plan with the client's goals in mind. I also have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Needing support should never be a shameful experience. I believe everyone deserves someone kind and unbiased to offer support and encouragement as we navigate our lives.

Megan is amazing always non judgmental and shares different ways to look at situations! I feel she is always available if I need her

She really cares which is a hell of a lot more than most therapists. She's very knowledgeable and helpful and addresses the problems I see as opposed to the ones she may see.
