Megan is a firm believer that building a strong therapeutic alliance with her clients is the foundational path to growth and healing. Clients can expect to utilize therapy sessions to address their needs in the moment whether it be through learning new and adaptive ways to regulate emotions and cope with stressors, adjusting to life transitions, exploring identity, enhancing relationships and communication skills, processing trauma, etc. She is committed to creating a safe, nonjudgemental space that fosters empathy and compassion, so that her clients feel empowered to explore their emotional processes and work towards living a life that feels authentic to them. Megan recognizes that creating this space also requires her to show up as her authentic self in the therapy space. She loves to do this by utilizing her own lived experiences and sense of humor.
