Hello! My name is megan
I'd love to work with you.
I love what I do, and often deeply relate to my clients. I feel honored to be welcomed into the life and healing process of those I work with. When in session I aim to create a process that is both warm, energizing, and comfortable. I follow my clients lead, trusting your innate ability to heal. I also am quite directive when needed; I often use my clients past & present experiences to support the healing process.
​
When I am not working, I spend most of my time with my two young children and husband. We enjoy good coffee, and admittingly too many family trips to get Frozen Yogurt. I am an artist to my core, novice interior designer, practice yoga, and love a good true crime podcast binge!

My values
-
I celebrate the mystery of humanity and the full range of human experience. I witness the wonder of my client's unique transformation.
-
I create safety through a warm and emotionally engaged relationship where all clients are valued and respected.
-
I am a lifelong learner. I provide treatment in line with current neuroscience and therapeutic interventions.
-
My own self-awareness and personal growth are critical. I examine internalized prejudice, shame, -isms, or phobias ways to reject any furthering harm or contribute to any systemic oppression.
-
Therapy is an art form more than a series of mechanized or defined steps. Therapy leads to a more beautiful and creative experience of life and a truer and fuller expression of who you are.
