Going through transitions and changes in life can be pretty scary and, quite frankly, sometimes it really sucks. Whether it is in your personal life, at work, at school or in your relationship (or all of the above!), you might feel stuck and uncertain about what to do and where to head next. It's hard for you to picture where you want to see yourself in the future. Maybe you are in a place in life, feeling stale and routine, and you want something different, but don't know where to start. Or maybe you can't see how to navigate your current situation to get yourself to your future you dream about.

I compassionately collaborate with women (18+) towards a life of wholeness, healing, and freedom. I believe we were created to live fully integrated lives: body, soul, and spirit. I help women connect to and honor their bodies, as well as heal their soul wounds from a place of connection with Jesus. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with self-hatred, identity confusion, attachment wounds, unstable moods, spiritual warfare and harmful belief systems, perfectionism, negative body image and disordered eating, OCD, life transitions, grief, trauma, and chronic pain/illness/disabilities.

I specialize in treating trauma, attachment, and anxiety using somatic, body-brain techniques for transformative healing.

My approach is grounded in neuroscience, blending mindfulness and relational therapy to help you process your experiences, move forward, and restore resilience. My goal is to take you from simply surviving to thriving with confidence, ease, and health, empowering you to overcome helplessness and access your innate wholeness. Because every journey is unique, I give individualized care and support.

I'm fucking tired, too - of all of it. Thus, my intention with my clients is to help you heal so you can be more effective at fighting internal AND external oppression.

What you want matters; it doesn't make you bad, it makes you lovely. Healing is a collective effort that we all must hold ourselves accountable to, so let's get to work.

If anonymous sex, infidelity, compulsive pornography use, or other sexual behaviors are creating problems for you or your relationship, I can help.

My gentle, yet firm approach will help you open a door to recovery that you've never before thought possible. Call or e-mail me now to regain control of your life and your relationships.

"Be caring, curious, and then compassionate." I practice these three steps just as I teach them. I studied psychology, counseling, and family therapy for 12 years to become the best therapist I could be and to know how best to help someone work through depression or anxiety. I especially enjoy working with couples to help create their healthiest relationship. My speciality is working with parents and their children even if they are grown.

Trauma is often weaved in and through the fabric of our lives. Many think of trauma as one large scale traumatic event. However, complex trauma is not always a single event. It could be a failed attachment to our care takers, experiencing abuse/neglect, multiple losses, shattered relationships, or the inability to protect ourselves emotionally with healthy boundaries. The most disturbing part of a trauma is not only the event itself, but how we perceived the event, and the internalized negative core beliefs about ourselves that developed.

I am an LCSW-S and CSAT-S specializing in the treatment of Adult Children of Sex Addicts, Childhood Trauma, Partners of Sex Addicts, Betrayal, Infidelity, Depression, Anxiety, Love/Avoidance Addiction and Attachment. My 30-year career began working at The Meadows Treatment Center in Wickenburg, AZ learning Pia Mellody's Post Induction Therapy Model of Developmental Trauma. In addition, I spent part of my time at The Meadows as the Assistant Director of Sexual Disorder Services under the direction of Patrick J. Carnes, Ph.D. I am the co-author of 'A Light in the Dark: The Hidden Legacy of Adult Children of Sex Addicts'.

Many individuals often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or alone in their daily life. I aim to help those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, and religious trauma, among others, to find understanding and not feel so alone. I offer tools and strategies to manage stress and anxiety, rediscover joy, provide guidance and perspective through important life changes, and improve communication and connection within significant relationships. Being equipped with the proper tools and support empowers individuals to create change they previously may have doubted was possible.

Many of my clients enter therapy for the first time not knowing what to expect. As your therapist, I will explain the therapy process and paint a clear picture of where we are going. I work to provide an empathetic, safe environment for all of my clients, but I am especially skilled at helping clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transition & existential issues. My training also equips me to work with couples and families struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Some of these may include infidelity, parenting issues, and pre-marital counseling. I love helping couples connect who are struggling to do so.

You deserve to be loved and to feel like you belong. No matter your age, you need and deserve emotional and physical safety and security. When your needs are not met you may feel anxious, depressed, hopeless and dis-empowered. You may act out in self-destructive or unhelpful ways or may find yourself in unfulfilling relationships. Your needs matter. You are worthy of love, belonging, safety, security and success. If it doesn't feel that way to you, I want to help you discover your inherent value and worth.

Hi, I’m Megan! I support individuals as they cope with anxiety, depression, and heal from trauma, improve the relationship with self, and feelings of guilt and shame. When working alongside clients, I focus on cultivating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment. My goal is to provide you with the tools you need to feel safe and empowered in your journey.

Life isn't meant to be lived in flight or fight. Life isn't meant to be lived disconnected. Life isn't meant to be lived stuck. If you've been trying for so long to reconnect, to be free, to find yourself, consider allowing me to partner with you on that journey. It would be an honor to help you grow into the person you have always known you really are. You've been so surviving holding everything you're carrying around. It's ok to begin to put them down.

Do you ever feel misunderstood, alone, or overwhelmed by your daily responsibilities? Therapy can be a great way to learn to build coping skills for your anxiety, depression, or any other mental health challenges you may be facing. Therapy can also help you set goals, work on boundary setting, communication skills, and processing past events that have left lasting marks in current relationships. It's important that I provide a safe space for my clients to express their feelings, needs, and wants to an unbiased person (me, the counselor) and that I can offer feedback that challenges them to grow and heal!
