More about Megan

Most people don’t come to therapy by accident. They come when something important is shifting and they’re ready to engage with it.

I’m a credentialed therapist working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, and significant life transitions.

My work is integrative and insight-oriented, blending evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and values-based exploration. I’m especially drawn to working with people at a turning point — navigating relocation, career change, relationship shifts, identity questions, or a persistent sense that something needs to change.

I work collaboratively and directly, with an emphasis on clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful forward movement. Therapy with me isn’t about staying comfortable or simply managing symptoms; it’s about understanding patterns, reclaiming agency, and choosing direction with intention.

My approach tends to resonate with reflective, engaged clients, including those living or working across different cultures or time zones.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
