Therapy is a fantastic tool that allows you to develop the necessary skills to aid in navigating the challenges that life likes to throw at us. Healing is never linear and I am confident in providing the tools that you need to defeat the lows and excel during the highs. No one knows you better than yourself and YOU are your greatest advocate, but I can provide awesome backup! I work with all ages, in individual and couples/family therapy, but I specialize in military families, couples, and in LGBTQIA+ issues. I am currently unable to accept Cigna, Aetna or TriCare insurance. Let's work together to help you present your best self!

Struggling with your relationship, identity, anxiety, frustration, and/or just not feeling "you"? This can be so frustrating and debilitating! Through time together we can find "you" again. Want to not only find "you", but better "you"? Lets walk that journey together! I offer exclusively telehealth services in the evenings, which can be ideal for those individuals who work during the day or before heading into your second/third shift job. (I work with people as late as midnight!)

If you, or your family members, are in need of assistance to meet the challenges of relationships, school, work, or other aspects of life, I am here to help you find the hidden skills and abilities within to lead successful lives. My goal is to assist you in discovering the best way to be the best you!

I believe in creating a safe and trusting therapeutic setting where individuals, children and families are able to explore themselves and relationships . We all experience difficulties in our lives from time to time and it is my role to sit with you while we explore them. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns; such as anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and trauma to name a few. There is never a guarantee with any service, but if you are looking for someone who can provide a safe, supportive listening ear while simultaneously challenging you to meet your goals. This might be the space for you!

I welcome clients from a variety of backgrounds. My goal is to help you reach meaningful conclusions about your life and work towards self-defined goals. You are the expert on you.

I believe that at any given moment we are all doing the best that we can with what we have within us. Everyone has found themselves in the midst of the struggle at some point, and that struggle may appear the same or differently each time. I enjoy working with a wide variety of concerns such as anxious/depressive symptoms, relationship conflict, trauma, and personality disorders. No one can force a change to happen so there is never a guarantee of services. However, if you are looking for someone to provide safety and support while challenging you to better understand yourself and your roles - this may be a good space for you.

Throughout her life, Megan Crawford has sought out therapy as she navigated challenging life circumstances. These included relationship struggles, divorce, single parenting, life transitions, a loved one struggling with addiction, and the loss of a close friend. She found therapy to be a safe space to explore feelings, fears, strengths, and to address thoughts that were blocking her growth. Though therapy she gained the courage to make positive decisions that supported her emotional well-being. Now, she wants to provide that same source of strength for you.

*Accepting new clients* Relationships help us feel connected and whole. When there is a breakdown in our relationships, it can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, and grief. Challenges in relationships can occur through a multitude of avenues, including military deployment/reintegration, adoption, infidelity, parenting, or divorce. I work with families, couples, and individuals of all ages to strengthen the emotional and relational bonds to help them experience more fulfilling relationships. I am dedicated to helping clients reach these optimal levels of wellness through a collaborative, non-judgmental, and empathetic stance.

Deciding that we need help is not an easy thing to admit. It's even more difficult to reach out to get the help we know we deserve. No matter what you are dealing with in life, may it be daily anxiety and depression or transitioning through a phase in your life that turned out to be more difficult than you thought. I am here to listen and help you through these times. I hope that with my help you can live your life the way you have always wanted and feel proud for the work you have done to truly take care of yourself.

Currently accepting new clients. It may be your first ever therapy appointment or you may be deciding to re-establish in therapy after some time; regardless, you are taking the first, often hardest, step towards your healing journey. There are many myths and misconceptions about therapy that may have discouraged you from seeking therapy. Many think that therapy is a one-way conversation or that I am going to make you discuss issues that you wish not to. I use a collaborative approach in which you remain the expert of your own life and I am there to guide you through the process of healing.

The side of you people see is polished and put together, but you don't always feel that way on the inside. Sometimes you worry about things you shouldn't worry about and this anxiety can take over making it hard to cope. We can work together to help you recognize your strengths in a world where you are constantly confronted with negativity. I provide a safe and comfortable space to explore these issues and help you to resolve your inner struggles. Online therapy can help you regain your confidence, develop new coping skills, and improve your life…all without sacrificing your busy schedule or privacy.

I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treatments proven to increase children's positive feelings and ability to cope. I work with children ages 6-17. Some areas of treatment interest are anxiety, phobias, trauma, and adjustment issues (such as grief, divorce, food allergies). I have a certified therapy dog named Willow. If clients do not want Willow in session, then she is not a part of therapy. Willow is an mini Aussiedoodle, which means she has minimal shedding and is more allergy-friendly.

Experience matters. I have over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field, where experience is vital because life is complicated. And our mind can often be a battlefield. My experience includes working in schools, churches, the military, non-profits and private practice. I specialize in working with adults having difficulty with anxiety, depression, relationships, challenging circumstances, employment stressors, loneliness and loss. The life we lead does stem from the thoughts we think, so it's helpful to not underestimate the power of our mind for good but also for our detriment. The good news is we can choose.
