Great to meet you!

Meg brings decades of deep, hands-on experience supporting teens both in clinical counseling and within school settings. As a parent herself, she grounds her practice in real-world empathy, offering a compassionate space where young people feel truly seen and understood. She specializes in attachment and relationship dynamics, helping clients navigate connection, set healthy boundaries, and build secure relationships. Meg particularly thrives when working with teens and young adult women, guiding them to cultivate authentic self-esteem, build lasting confidence, and gain a clear, empowering understanding of who they are.

My approach to therapy

Meg’s therapeutic approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human. She brings a maternal, nurturing presence to sessions, offering a relatable and authentic space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Intensely invested in her clients' growth and progress, Meg balances compassionate support with an adaptable, flexible style. She is able to effortlessly pivot in the moment to meet whatever needs, emotions, or challenges a client brings into the room.

What you can expect from me

From their very first session with Meg, clients experience immediate relief and grounding as they begin to stabilize racing thinking patterns, fluctuating moods, and the physical distress that often accompanies anxiety and stress. Through a seamless blend of intuitive warmth and intentional structure, Meg uses thought-provoking, reflective questions to help clients clear the mental noise, process what they are feeling in real time, and leave the first session with a sense of calm, clarity, and direction.
