Hi, I'm Meredith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and teens struggling to determine who they are currently and to understand their own personal developmental process. Using a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, humor, and person-centered work, your counseling will start with building a trusting and welcoming rapport and then supporting you as you work at your own pace towards your goals. As adults and teens, we are often in positions to care for others. We help, we volunteer, we go the extra mile even if that extra mile costs us an hour less sleep. And in everything we do, there is so much pressure to be the perfect woman, the perfect employee, the perfect student, the perfect mother. For some of us, "perfect" feels more like "impossible." As a counselor, I see the struggles that so many people have on a daily basis with the idea that they need to be perfect and how it reframes their idea of self I have also seen firsthand the long term impact of being everything to everyone. I’d like to get to know you and work together to go the extra mile for you and your personal wellness and happiness. It is my hope that by working together we can challenge those thoughts of perfection, work to help you accept yourself, and learn to breathe, balance and grow.

My practice is secular and inclusive, all are welcome.
