Today's world is full of uncertainty and division and if you, like many of my friends, family and clients, are seeking someone to help you process your thoughts, I'd like to offer my services. Many times people need support and some guidance in getting their thoughts and actions sorted out. For many of us there isn't much precedence for how to manage life in a pandemic/post pandemic world. Relationships change, parenting becomes harder, and internally people struggle with who they are and life's purpose. If you need help sorting any of this out please reach out.

Greetings! I'm Meghan- a licensed marriage and family therapy associate experienced working with children, adults, couples and families. I have specialized experience working with neurodivergent children and teens and helping them, and their families navigate life after diagnosis. Many of my clients have felt the struggles of not having the relationships they want (with their child/children, siblings, spouse, friends) and are interested in shifting to more rewarding, authentic relationships that don't feel like such a struggle.

What if you could "end" your marriage as it is... but create a new one, with each other? Maybe you’ve been putting off therapy for a while, or perhaps you’ve tried it in the past, only to find the same issues resurfacing a few months later. I don’t blame you – this is hard work. Traditional couples and family therapy can take years, but you need help NOW. With over 25 years of experience, I help couples and families quickly identify the root causes of their issues so that they can move forward with confidence and change their lives – now, and for good. My goal: to get you off the couch and back to your life as quickly as possible.

Nautilus Counseling takes its name from the chambered ocean creature. A nautilus builds a new shell chamber for itself when the current one no longer works and is uncomfortable, allowing the nautilus to grow as it should. Discomfort inspires change and growth for the nautilus and for us too. Are you ready for change? If you are, I am excited to support you in making that change. Together, we will look at what in your life is creating discomfort for you, what is contributing to that feeling, and how to help you change and grow towards a place that feels right for you.

I have been in private practice for 34 years in the capacity of family therapist and clinical director at two residential facilities. I do not believe in long term therapy, and on occasion, clients will come back for a "tune-up." I am direct, I will give you feedback, (not tell you what to do) and be very supportive at the same time. Family therapists, believe that behaviors get passed down from generation to generation. We would explore your "family of origin" and sort out what behaviors are working for you and what needs to change. If YOU do the work, You WILL get better!

I work with people of all ages to help them manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and much more.
