There is beauty in the complexity of our lives, and often difficulty too. Sometimes, our inner resources and life's challenges don't align, and leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unskilled.

Offering sessions in Art Therapy to support chronic illness, grief and loss, and burnout. Throughout our lives, loss can show up in many forms: the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship, the loss of health, the loss of fertility, and of course the loss of life. All of these experiences can have the same intense effects as the death of a loved one. They can leave us feeling shattered, lost, and alone. Our modern-day way of life does not provide us with the rituals or guides we need to properly care for ourselves, find relief and support, and effectively grieve these losses when they occur. I understand, and I’m here to help.

There's support out there just for you. For your convenience, I offer telehealth sessions in Florida, Iowa, and I'm PsyPact certified.

Hello there, my name is Megan. Feel free to grab a chair and let's talk! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience. As a dedicated mental health therapist, I am committed to guiding individuals through the unique challenges that arise when navigating the complexities of both physical health and mental well-being. In this therapeutic space, we embark on a collaborative exploration, fostering a profound understanding of the intricate relationship between mind and body.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed? Maybe you've been having thoughts of not being good enough or questioning your identity. You might be the kind of person who is used to having it all figured out and can usually manage things on your own, but lately it’s been feeling like too much to handle. Stress is starting to negatively impact your relationships, work and health. Trying to carry this weight can be emotionally and physically exhausting especially when you’re trying to do it alone. That’s where I come in.

I have a great deal of experience working with people who have chronic illness, depression, anxiety and co-dependency. I work with many people who are the caregivers to their families. I’ve observed that caregivers are often wonderful about taking care of everyone except themselves. As a therapist I will help you prioritize self care. I will support you in setting limits and boundaries and keeping that backbone when then temptation is to please others at your own expense. It is OK to say “No”. It is OK to put yourself first for a change. It is important that you feel seen and heard. Your feelings matter.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual and group therapy. Therapy is not about identifying what you're doing "wrong" and "fixing" it. Therapy is a process through which we curiously learn about who you are and what you want for your life. Then, we look at what you're doing now that is working for you (moving you toward what is meaningful) and what you're doing that's not working for you (moving you away from what is meaningful).

You were ransomed with purpose, but do the trials of life seem to hold you back from finding that purpose or living it out? Challenging situations, relationships, illnesses shape and guide emotions, choices, & outlook. Someone to listen to your heart and help you understand the bigger picture of your situation can ease that burden. I use the framework of God's word and evidence-based methods as needed to help you confront and overcome the roots of your challenges. My goal is to assist positive growth to enable healthier relationships with God, with self, & others and get you back on a path of living in all you were purposed to be.

Are you an adult in transition? Are you experiencing work challenges? Are you having issues with interpersonal relationships? If yes, I'm the Therapist for you.

I became a Therapist because I enjoy helping people find solutions to life's problems. Therapy is collaborative so I listen to the issues you want to address and we develop your treatment together. Clients describe me as patient and compassionate.

As a psychologist and nurse, I bring a unique understanding to therapy with a focus on both biological and psychological factors that impact mood and behavioral patterns. I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach in my work to help each client achieve personal life goals that are generally aimed at improving health and wellness, managing stress, and improving relationships.

It is my hope that our time together will help you to release yourself from patterns that have left you feeling stuck, and instead, find the space and freedom to explore what’s most important to you.
