Therapeutic Philosophy

Megan believes that “we heal within the context of relationships.” At the heart of her work is the belief that a supportive, genuine relationship between therapist and client is the foundation for lasting change. She brings a calm, flexible, and down-to-earth presence to every session, helping clients feel understood, accepted, and empowered to grow.
