Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious or disconnected? You’re not alone. Each and everyone of us has our own stories and lived experiences of pain, trauma, disconnection. Life’s challenges can be overwhelming and it is crucial to have the support you need to navigate life. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and body-led. Healing is a journey, and I will meet you on the path exactly where you are with compassion and non-judgement. Together I join with you on the path toward your healing and fulfillment and together we embrace the messiness of the human experience where you are free to explore what is alive for you.

I offer tele-health therapy within the state of Washington.

My approach to therapy is humanistic and relational. I believe that pain and suffering are an unavoidable part of the human experience, but they do not have to be a permanent, all-consuming state of affairs. We all get stuck from time to time. Finding a way forward can seem unimaginable or downright impossible at times; we can become immobilized by fear, confusion, and indecision, or stuck in lifelong patterns of behavior that have outlived their usefulness. But through dialogue with a caring, curious, and compassionate other, we can find new ways to heal, to grow, and to move forward with our lives.

Some days, maybe even most days, you feel at war with yourself. You burn through all of your mental (and physical) energy just by convincing yourself to do the tasks that make you a “productive” person. Some days, you win that war and accomplish what you wanted; other days, you feel like you lost it and beat yourself up for not doing better. You may not know where to start because everything feels overwhelming and maybe failure feels inevitable.

I also work closely with parents to help them get clear on their beliefs and goals around parenting so they can connect with their children in a meaningful way and actually enjoy parenting! All without judgment or shame.
Hi there! I’m Megan, a fellow parent who knows how hard it can be. I’m also deeply committed to understanding what underlies the behavior in our children that hinders their growth into the resilient, confident, and kind adults they have the potential to be. I have 15 years of experience working with children and families in all sorts of capacities and settings. I know all too well how kids with challenging behaviors or high anxiety can slip through the cracks, get labeled “defiant,” or just start to internalize the belief that they’re a bad kid. The truth is there’s no such thing. Kids do well when they can – and so do parents!
