Ever feel like everyday is akin to jumping on the hamster wheel?! You expend all your energy day after day and it leaves you feeling empty, anxious, and overwhelmed. Whether you are a parent/caregiver, teen trying to navigate the world, or just someone that feels anxious and overloaded by life's expectations, I want to come alongside you and help you to reach your fullest potential. I believe through the power of relationship and the therapeutic alliance, you possess the tools to navigate all of the road blocks and stepping stones in your life. My hope is that you walk away from each session feeling heard and valued and the skills you are able to tap in to will help alleviate some of those feelings of overwhelm.

Meghan is amazing! She is always quick to respond to my messages and she genuinely listens to all of my concerns, then provides the advice/responses that I need. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Meghan has been the best therapist I’ve ever worked with, regardless if telehelp or traditional. She is kind and empathetic, and also provides relevant actionable steps to make progress in areas needing help. Most importantly, she validates my feelings and situation in a way that feels genuinely sincere and gives me space to be ok with where I am at, without it seeming like she is feeling bad for me. Not only do I look forward to each session because it flows naturally without feeling forced, I also leave each session feeling so much better even if it went to some tough places.
