Great to meet you!

Hi there! I'm Meredith. I work with a variety of clients, but I'm most drawn to millennial and Gen-Z women, folks struggling with depression, shame, vulnerability, and grief and loss, people pleasers and perfectionists, and oldest daughters, single mothers, and helping professionals.

I received my Bachelors in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and my Masters in Social Work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I've been a licensed social worker for over 9 years. A little about me: I'm a coffee drinker, dog person, reality tv connoisseur, Scorpio, Midwesterner, oldest daughter and middle child.

My approach to therapy

I believe that others need to earn the right to hear your story, myself included. I can promise authenticity, empowerment, and respect from me as we build a trusting relationship together. I might be the therapist for you if you struggle with being kind to yourself, setting boundaries, depression, trauma, grief and loss, people pleasing and taking up space, or just existing as a human in our racist, sexist, ableist, heterosexist world.

What you can expect from me

At Black Dog Psychotherapy, my goal is to create a comfortable space for you to show up as your whole self. My approach is genuine, relational, grounded, and warm, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in for good measure. Our lives can get heavy, and my hope is that our time together can be a chance to put down and unpack some of that weight.
