Therapeutic Approach

Megan brings a client-centered focus to her work with individuals, families, and couples in the therapy room. Her collaborative, empathetic care is focused on supporting her clients in overcoming life’s inevitable challenges. Emotions are the lens through which we experience the beauty in life - and while at times they can feel overwhelming - Megan believes that our emotions provide opportunities to rediscover connection with ourselves. 

Megan understands that each of us is unique and one person's journey will not look identical to another. This is why she utilizes a variety of techniques to best support the individual's specific needs. Megan specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy with the addition of a solution focused, strengths based, and family systems approach. Therapy with Megan will not be one-size-fits-all, but rather a conversation - a space to explore the deepest parts of self with safety and compassion. 

Megan believes in the importance of having a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach. Her passion lies in creating healing spaces that allow individuals to discover their inherent wisdom and step into their most authentic selves.

Megan is a self-proclaimed life long learner and is always looking to expand her knowledge through experience. Her deep rooted value of community wellness is something that she always carries with her. Megan believes that being the best version of herself allows her to support the community she serves.
