Great to meet you!

When life shifts, your body often feels it first. You might experience a "heavy" fatigue, or a nervous system that feels permanently stuck in "fight or flight." It can be difficult to find the best tools to manage life's challenges, but learning how to regulate your mind and body can significantly improve your quality of life. I'm Meghan, a Counselor specializing in Somatic-Informed Therapy. I believe that true resilience isn't just "mind over matter"—it's learning to listen to what your body is telling you. My approach combines traditional clinical insight with somatic (body-based) tools and mind-body techniques. We won't just analyze your stress; we will work to discharge it from your nervous system. Whether you are navigating a transition or seeking new coping tools, I provide a grounded space to help you reconnect with yourself.

My approach to therapy

I focus on supporting you where you are at and providing a space for reflection, change, and growth. I'm big on collaboration and work with you to find the best tools and strategies for your personal life story. I specialize in Somatic Therapy Practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Talk Therapy from a Humanistic lens.

Treatment Areas:

Life Transitions

Serious illness & medical trauma

Chronic Pain

Burnout & Fatigue

Anxiety

What you can expect from me

I really like to use our first session as a get-to-know-you opportunity. This helps me best understand the experience you are bringing into the therapeutic space and how I can tailor my skills to best support you. I like to call our first session "coffee talk." You can expect an honest assessment of whether I would be a good match for your particular needs. I think it is vital for clients to feel seen, validated, and connected in order for therapy to be successful.
