My Approach to Therapy

Hi, I'm Meg! I help capable, driven people pause, untangle what’s been weighing them down, and find their way back to a version of themselves that feels clearer, lighter, and more grounded. Many of my clients look "fine" on the outside, but may be dealing with overwhelming and anxious feelings they aren't quite sure how to navigate. With over three decades of experience in counseling, I bring my humor, positive attitude, and clinical experience to encourage clients to embrace their struggles, understand their patterns, and shift their mindsets. My approach to each encounter is evidence-based, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exposure-based work, strength-based strategies, evolutionary psychology, and mindfulness. I want my clients to know that they are not the problem that needs fixing, but instead that they have nervous systems, routines, or patterns that may need direction or regulation. I use a warm, understanding style wholeheartedly, and I work to connect with every client deeply.

My Practice & Services

I made my practice for people who want therapy to feel both deeply human and genuinely useful. Since 1991, I’ve worked in fast-paced leadership environments and on the business side of healthcare. Through my experiences, I understand more than anyone what caregiving quietly takes and what it feels like to stand at a transition with no clear map forward. Clients often come to me when they are tired of circling the same patterns, overthinking every decision, carrying too much for too long, or feeling like the version of themselves everyone sees is not the version they are experiencing inside
