I imagine you want to better understand yourself while getting to the heart of matters. You want change. How do I accept what is and also move forward? What is calling me forward? You want guidance and support in finding that authentic path. Perhaps you also want to learn new skills and coping strategies. You suspect that effective therapy generally takes time, patience, and a certain amount of energy. You also want to feel uniquely seen and heard in a non-judging manner. You want your whole self to be honored. You want the grace of healing intentions.

I’m a wife, mom, sister, friend, and grandmother—basically a walking sitcom with decades of plot twists. At 57, I’ve collected enough life experience to fill a whole bookshelf… and probably a mini-series. I bring all of that into the therapy room so you’re not talking to someone who’s only learned life from a textbook.
I’ve lived it, tripped over it, cried through it, laughed at it, and grown from it.
I'm here to help. I've been through it. Life is complicated; you don’t have to walk through hard things alone. Together we can sort through the mess—without judgment and without pretending life is tidier than it actually is.

My name is Megan, and I am accepting new clients in Oregon. Taking those first steps towards self-improvement is not always easy and finding the right therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming. It is my goal to help you feel more comfortable as you embark on the journey. Creating a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental space where hope, healing, and self-discovery can flourish is what drives my work. I believe that the therapeutic process is different for each unique individual and there is not a one size fits all approach.

People often seek therapy when life starts to feel heavier than it should. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected in relationships, or impacted by past experiences that still show up in the present. Sometimes there’s a clear reason to reach out; other times it’s just a sense that something isn’t working anymore. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and get support from someone who listens without judgment. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. WWC is here to support you.

Welcome! Most clients who seek me out are overwhelmed. They may be dealing with life transitions like separation, divorce, single parenting, empty nesting, or career changes. They may feel alone and need help moving forward. Sometimes they are doing their best to juggle life's stresses while managing chronic illness or disability - whether that's their own autoimmune condition, their child's autism or ADHD, a partner's sudden stroke, or an aging parent's Alzheimer's. Above all, they want a personal connection with someone who believes in them and validates their feelings, experiences, and concerns.

I teach you. I have expertise that may help you learn and change on your healing path.

What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
