Hi I'm Meridith! Here is a brief overview on how I do things. Early In therapy, I focus on building a trusting relationship with you and getting to know more about your learning style and preferred way of navigating the world. Once you and I have a good foundation we can identify more specific goals, like behaviors you want to increase or decrease. Sometimes clients will invite a more analytic approach, which means that if you’re comfortable you and I explore if your past experiences are influencing patterns in your current life- either consciously or unconsciously

Everyone experiences difficult moments in life. The good news is therapy can absolutely provide you with practical tools for managing these hard times. Whether it's stress from work, relationship problems, or struggles to cope with daily stressors, we can all learn to better navigate these issues. My goal is to help you learn the skills to better manage symptoms and become more present in your life.

Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma? Do you have a hard time communicating and setting boundaries with others? Life is full of obstacles and hardships that may be difficult to overcome without the right tools, resources, and, guidance leading to the manifestation of these symptoms. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adolescents using a Psychodynamic approach to explore unconscious thoughts and behaviors. In doing this, we are able to collaboratively recognize old ineffective patterns and process unresolved feelings and trauma.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.
