So reading a therapist’s bio wasn’t in your 10-year plan? That’s totally normal. You didn’t choose the therapy life; it chose you...

Hi, I’m Megan. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who, perhaps like you, had life lead me to therapy. To be honest, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever tried not to make.

I spent the first 10 years of my professional life working in social services and county social work before making my way into clinical therapy six years ago. I take an integrative, trauma-centered approach, incorporating EMDR, IFS, Dialectical practices, and other evidence-based therapeutic modalities. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating mood and emotional regulation difficulties, complex trauma, compulsive behaviors, and relationship and family challenges.

Beyond any certification or professional experience, I believe one of the most valuable assets I bring to a session is knowing what it’s like to lead a life full of self-destruction, genetic trauma (sorry, Mom), and more “I’m good” moments than could possibly have been true if my thoughts had been given the mic. I also know what it’s like to continue drifting further off course, clinging to the idea that something external will fix all the issues internal. I tried. It won’t.

Most importantly, I know what it’s like to finally accept guidance through the healing process and realize that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. So, if you choose to work with me, I’d be honored to walk alongside you, help you figure out what’s gotten you here, and find the GPS that you’ve always been carrying - navigating you to the life that’s out there waiting for you.

My therapeutic approach is not a one-size-fits-all style. I’m not interested in handing you a stack of clichés, telling you to “take deep breaths and count to 10,” then sending you on your way.

And I’m definitely not here to attack your coping mechanisms—they’ve been your mind's best solution to the actual issues we’ll work on. Besides, doesn’t the world attack them enough already?

Instead, I use a multifaceted, highly individualized approach grounded in EMDR, IFS, and other evidence-based therapeutic modalities. My goal is to meet you where you’re at and begin unpacking the negative core beliefs that may have mistakenly been stored in your ‘Save Forever’ file. Together, we’ll explore the experiences that brought you to this point and begin separating who you are from what you do, because I don’t believe you are your worst coping mechanism.

Sessions with me are collaborative, honest, and judgment-free. We’ll take a real look at who you are, what you’ve experienced, how those experiences have shaped you, and the parts of yourself you may have spent years trying to hide, fix, or completely eliminate.

I’ll tailor interventions to the person sitting in front of me rather than trying to force you into a predetermined formula. Together, we’ll work towards healing the negative beliefs you didn’t choose, understanding the behaviors you developed to survive, and finding practical ways to use the parts of yourself you once thought were trying to destroy you.

Because maybe those parts weren’t trying to destroy you.

Maybe they were trying to get you here.

And now, we can teach them a better way forward.
