Meghan's therapeutic approach is centered on authentic client-therapist relationship building based on attunement and presence which honors each individual's wisdom as the expert of their life. Meghan is especially passionate about supporting people of all ages who are gender non-conforming and/or navigating chronic pain. Meghan also has experience supporting individuals struggling with self-harm and/or suicidal ideation.

 

Meghan believes in understanding the social contexts and systems we live in and the way who we are can shape so many aspects of our lives. She grounds her practice in mindfulness, slowing down, and being an active participant in choosing what is important to you and how to align your life to what is important. Her approach focuses on person-centered trauma-informed experiential therapies such as play therapy, movement-based nervous system regulation, and creative expression which are supported by an understanding of brain development and neuroscience. She actively invites feedback in the therapeutic process to support the individual needs of each client and offer an inclusive and affirming space.

 

Meghan received her Master's degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College. Her professional experiences span a range of services for youth including supporting neurodivergent college students, focused therapeutic services for trans and gender non-conforming children and adolescents, school-based therapy, and suicide and self-harm crisis intervention services for youth online. Through these experiences, she has provided services to children, adolescents, young adults, and their families through a wide range of challenges as well as developed skill in navigating care in the school and medical systems. The overwhelming theme she has seen emerge in her work is the overwhelming pain of disconnection and feeling unseen, unheard, and unknown. She hopes to be a partner on your path toward connection to self, others, and that which brings meaning to your life.

 

In her free time, Meghan loves to pursue things which bring her closer to her personal values of connection, authenticity, and growth. You can find her climbing a rock wall, hiking in beautiful scenery, collecting funky earrings, diving into the rich world of a book, or generally being silly with her loved ones.
