Meet Megan

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I understand just how important it is to find the right person when life feels overwhelming. With a warm, caring, and non-judgmental approach, I have helped many clients feel safe and comfortable enough to overcome plaguing issues and create lasting change. While my therapeutic approach is based in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other evidence-based practices, my therapeutic style changes to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I look forward to helping you on your journey to a happier and more fulfilled life.
