I'm currently on leave and will be unavailable for consultations during this time. I will be accepting new clients in June 2026. Hi, I'm Meghan. I work with people who are ready to make changes in how they live, work, and take care of themselves. Many of my clients are dealing with anxiety, burnout, or major life transitions, and they want practical strategies to feel more balanced and in control. Before becoming a counselling therapist, I spent nearly a decade as a massage therapist, which gave me a strong understanding of how mental and physical health are connected.
My approach is straightforward and collaborative. I draw from CBT, ACT, and strengths-based counselling to help clients set goals, build tools, and take steps toward the life they want.
I offer in-office and virtual sessions. My goal is to provide a supportive, practical space where you can clarify your priorities, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change that is long-lasting.
