Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Megan, a psychologist and a director of mental health living in NYC. I am trained in psychoanalysis, emotion focused therapy, DBT, couples therapy and trauma therapy, which I enjoy pairing with somatic healing and spirituality. As I believe authenticity and honest self-reflection are the keys to growth, I create a warm and non-judgmental atmosphere for my patients to explore. Let's go on a journey together and find out what is possible

My approach to therapy

You might consider my approach to therapy rogue; I enjoy pushing the boundaries of traditional practices to infuse boldness and humor into sessions while helping patients overcome challenges. Therapy does not have to be pathologizing, judgmental, and heavy-it can also be empowering and exciting. We will cover difficult subjects (I specialize in trauma!), and I will challenge you to go outside your comfort zone, but we will also revel in the joy of being authentic, playful, and connected

What you can expect from me

When you come to therapy please be in a quiet and secure place where you can divulge personal information about yourself. I am very inquisitive and will ask you a lot about your life experiences and how they have affected you emotionally. Because one of my specialties is emotion focused therapy, I help facilitate the processing of deep-seated feelings which may require some tissues.
