About me

I specialize in grief, anxiety, and attachment with special interests in applying these concepts to non-death related losses. I believe strongly that it’s an honor and privilege to walk with people on their journeys as they navigate grief and finding a light when the world feels like it has gone dark.

I have experience working with clients in variety of settings including those experiencing homelessness, veterans, perinatal populations including those experiencing pregnancy and baby loss, parents navigating children of all ages, and geriatrics.

I have experiencing working with foster and adoptive parents, biological, blended, and chosen families.

I take a strong, action-oriented approach to therapy offering education and resources alongside tools with the goal of making heavy things more manageable to carry.

Megan was extremely responsive and made me truly feel like she cared about what my concerns were. I’m grateful for my short time with her.

Megan put me at ease during our sessions. I felt very comfortable opening up to her.

Megan is extremely attentive. Speaking with her is like speaking with a close friend. She is always there to hear what I have to say. She’s very open and communicative.

Megan is a mindful, thoughtful therapist, and she truly listens. I've told my friends to try and search for her and get her as a therapist, that's how much I value her and how she sees me for me, and challenges me. There are lots of therapists who are just like parrots: they don't really challenge you and just listen to things you say. I need someone who is really going to challenge me and help me see myself in an objective way. I recommend her to everyone. She knows what she is doing and she can relate to you and make you feel seen no matter how old or young you are, or what your background is.
