Everyday we make choices from the very mundane like what we have for breakfast or which shirt to wear, to the life changing like taking a new job, getting married, or moving somewhere you've never been. However easily these questions (and others) may be answered by some, there are many who have difficulty because the answers are not always so clear. Counseling can help in these moments of uncertainty. Whether it is a few hours of voicing your concerns or several months of assistance, a counselor can help you tackle life challenges more easily.

Life experiences and transitions influence the way we live, and can be the main reason we are experiencing the types of distress we find ourselves in. They force us to let go of the familiar and face the future with a feeling of vulnerability. We can experience great loss, fear, and not knowing where or who to turn to.

Using a client centered focus my desire is to provide you with a safe and welcoming space for you to work through your identified issues and foster an environment that utilizes your strengths and creates individual growth. Much of my career focus has been with adults that have severe and persistent mental illness that intersect with the justice system. I primarily worked with those transitioning out of the correctional setting and those still incarcerated. I have a strong belief in restorative justice offering compassion to both victims and survivors. I believe strongly in a mindful approach to our mental health.

Seeking therapy can be an unnerving task. It can be scary to open up to a stranger about personal thoughts, feelings and experiences. My goal as a therapist is to create a welcoming and safe environment for clients to be able to fully experience themselves and reflect on their lives. I encourage clients to embrace their truths and build up their confidence over the course of treatment by both validating and providing areas to look deeper in sessions.

Being neurodivergent myself shapes the way I sit with people. It gives me a lived understanding. It helps me recognize patterns that aren’t always obvious in a traditional clinical setting and approach each assessment with compassion, nuance, and respect.

I believe that everyone wants to feel loved, appreciated & valued. I enjoy helping individuals identify repeating lifelong patterns that prevent this from happening. Sometimes life can be confusing and frustrating and it can feel that you have tried everything to "fix" a feeling/situation/self belief and can end up feeling pretty hopeless though I can help you to identify your strengths, provide support and work with you so that you can lead the life you currently are dreaming about.

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.

Are you looking for someone to walk alongside you in your healing journey? My ideal client may be healing from trauma, navigating PTSD, or exploring their neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, sensory needs). They want to feel safe, seen, and empowered as they work through anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation. They’re seeking tools for nervous system support, clarity in their story, and self-compassion as they grow. They value a collaborative space where their pace, voice, and experience are honored. They long to feel more at home in themselves and more connected in their lives.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
