Every person brings a different story into therapy and my goal as a counselor is to create a safe space for you to explore and understand your story. I believe that a safe and collaborative relationship makes space for true healing and relationship building will always be the first priority in your work with me. You can expect that I will respect your own personal journey and that your personal goals will be heard and worked towards. If seeking services for your child, please know that I will work alongside you to address concerns in a way that is respectful of all involved.

My approach to therapy is down-to-earth, collaborative, and person-centered. You can expect a non-judgmental space that will help you to feel comfortable during all stages of the process. Together we will create a plan that promotes coping and growth, and incorporates evidence based therapy practices such as CBT, DBT, and a mix of trauma informed interventions. I work with adult populations 18 + . I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, experienced in Veteran issues, and specialize in addressing stressful life transitions, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, gender identity, and insomnia/ nightmares.

Hi, my name is Megan! First I want to honor the steps you took to get to this place of looking for increased support. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, grief, or just feeling like things aren't working as well for you as you'd like, some external support and perspective can be invaluable to getting back on track.

Taking the first step to getting help is often the hardest and can be very scary. Knowing this, I strive to create a space that is safe and judgement free and am here to help you navigate through life's challenges. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Licensed Masters Addiction Counselor who provides counseling for people of all ages. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families who are experiencing mental health and substance use struggles in a variety of different settings. I offer outpatient, individualized, care using the treatment modalities to best fit you.

I understand how it can be difficult to reach out for help especially when you may be feeling sad, anxious, and overwhelmed. I understand that it is hard to trust someone and express your doubts and fears. Let me help you. I believe that life is too short to think of therapy as just hard work. Challenging? Yes. Laughter? Yes. Compassion? Yes. Therapy is about knowing that you want to reach the goal of feeling better about yourself, your relationships, your life.

I have 25 years of experience seeing individuals and couples. I love my work as it allows me to follow my passion of helping people find meaning and master whatever challenges they face with care and compassion. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, emotional eating, and self-worth. I offer groups for mindfulness, emotional overeating, and anxiety/depression. I have found mindfulness to be an important life skill for people. It is particularly helpful in dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. With this skill we can all learn to quiet our busy minds and handle emotions more effectively.

An ideal client for me is anyone that wants to engage in therapy and better themselves, their situation, and their life. I love the variety of clients I see and am ready to meet them where they are at. Whether it's a life transition, daily life stressors, relationship challenges, or something more long term, I am here to help. I enjoy seeing teenagers and adults. I would be honored to support you through your mental health journey and improving your life.

In any given year, 1 in 5 adults in the United States is impacted by depression or anxiety. Are you walking through life alone? I strive to see, hear, understand, and empower you to reach your desires and capacity while navigating the challenges and seasons of life. Are you wired and tired, albeit parenting, relationally, occupationally, or perhaps you are grieving the loss of health or a loved one, or life has taken a turn you aren't prepared for? Addictions can be seductive, cunning, and baffling and result in a gradual erosion of what matters. You are worthy of a gentler, softer way through life that I will guide you through.

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder can be overwhelming. There is substantial overlap with anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting to an ever-changing life. Many individuals are also challenged with behavioral and sensory issues that are difficult to manage, often resulting in conflicts with family members, coworkers, and classmates. These challenges can quickly grow into a life that feels unmanageable and unhappy. When life gets hard, a little help goes a long way. The chaos and stress can impact all areas of life. But it doesn't have to. You don't have to go it alone.
