The psychologist/client relationship is unlike any other. Choosing the right psychologist may well be the most important decision you ever make and, ideally, it should not be based on educational and experiential qualifications alone. While my credentials (Ph.D. Columbia University Clinical Psychology, M.S. Biology, M.S. Cinical Psychology, M.A. Philosophy) more than qualify me on paper for this work, it is my love of my work and the concern and respect that I feel for my clients that makes me successful. In an atmosphere of warmth and understanding, my clients and I problem solve together.

Are you a Millennial or Gen Z navigating the complexities of life, feeling disconnected from your family, relationships, or workplace? Do you find yourself questioning who you are after years of others—whether family, school, or society—telling you who you should be? Maybe you're wrestling with the guilt or shame of challenging these expectations, all while facing anxiety or depression during this life transition. You’re not alone. It’s okay to feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck. Your journey toward self-understanding, healing, and authentic connection starts with recognizing these struggles—and there’s help here for you.

I believe therapy can serve as a potent and powerful conduit for healing, a place where you can say the things that you often don't, a cozy nest for sharing your most vulnerable self in search of hope and meaning, a platform for decision-making and action as you forge your way through change and growth. Our suffering is often the result of old behaviors, old traumas, old ways of thinking that we cling to in fear. And I believe that each individual is unique, with strengths, hopes, and challenges. I have extensive experience in life transitions, trauma, addiction and recovery, and building a life of meaning and joy.

My passion is in working with teens and young adults who have had to navigate struggles with anxiety, depression, family conflicts, parental divorce, loss, or healing from difficult relationships. The relationships we have throughout life can cause pain, but relationships also have the power to bring healing to those areas of our hearts and minds that have been damaged. This is why a therapeutic relationship is so impactful and why my approach to therapy is relational and collaborative.

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!

I am a remarried widow who raised six children, some with ADHD and one with schizophrenia. This motivated me to learn how biology and psychology intersect to create challenges, but also to inform a better outcome. I am passionate about finding solutions and helping others. Add to this an understanding of family dynamics, past and present, and learning better ways to communicate effectively and manage mood, including anxiety, depression, and anger. I am an optimist and have faith in one's ability to learn, change, and grow, understanding human development from the womb to the tomb. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Hi. I believe couples and individuals have more stacked against their thriving than ever before. Technology inundates us with messages that create unreasonable expectations and stress around personal relationships, parenting, living, and mental health. If modern life sometimes leaves you feeling unfulfilled, confused or anxious, you’re in good company. Most folks go to therapy for a simple reason: they want a smoother life. While I don’t promise to make life easier, I do create a supportive environment focussed on helping you develop tools to overcome relationship and behavioral patterns that might be holding you back.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
