Clients & Treatment Methods
Sometimes life hurts. The painful things you’ve been through can leave you feeling trapped, controlled by those hurts, and broken. You’re looking for balance and meaning, a sense of safety and worthiness. But trying to move forward in the present when the past has that ever tightening hold on you is exhausting. It might even feel a little hopeless at times.
Old traumas can definitely creep into the present, but they aren’t the only thing that may drag you back from happiness and being who you want to be. Contentious relationships in the here and now can leave you feeling boxed in and unheard, too. You want that connection you once had or dreamed of, the love and togetherness. But everything you try seems to lead to more hurt. And that hurt sometimes eats at you, consumes you, and leaves you feeling desperately alone and frustrated.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Together we can find your path forward.
Megan works with several different therapy frameworks to help. She’s trained in DBT and Gottman Level 1. She tailors her approach to fit your specific needs.
Megan often works with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationships. She has experience working with all different kinds of challenges in a variety of settings.
Personal Interests
Outside of counseling, Megan loves spending time with her puppy named Guinness (the most adorable pit mix ever!). She also enjoys hiking, listening to music, and going to concerts whenever she gets the chance.
