Hello! My name is Megan, and I recently moved to Seattle, WA from Tampa, FL. I wanted to try something new and if you’re reading this, you must be wanting to try something new too. I am so honored and excited to be on this journey together!
I originally started my college career as a photography major, not quite knowing what I wanted to do. I took Psych 101 as an elective and fell in love! I got my Bachelor of Art in psychology from the University of North Florida and went on to get my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I spent my year-long internship at a women’s residential substance use program. From there I worked for 3 years at a general outpatient office working with adults struggling with a wide range of concerns from general anxiety to sexual dysfunction and schizoaffective disorder. My clinical passion sits with gender and sexuality, relationships, and trauma.
My ideal therapy client is someone who is navigating the complexities of their identity and seeking a supportive, affirming space for self-exploration and growth. I also work with individuals who are experiencing trauma or major life transitions, such as career changes, relationship shifts, or personal losses. These clients are open to exploring their emotions, understanding the impact of their past, and developing healthier coping strategies. I currently see individuals 20+.
Collaboration and the therapeutic relationship are two main factors I like to focus on. This is your life, and I want to make sure that we are paying attention to the things that are important to you. You will also see more positive results when you contribute to the process. I like to tell my clients to expect personality from me. For us to build that therapeutic relationship, we both need to be able to be authentic. As far as modalities, I use ACT to help develop greater psychological flexibility. This means learning to accept your thoughts and feelings rather than struggling against them. Reality/Choice theory will help you understand the choices you have and how these choices impact your relationships and overall well-being. Feminist theories will help examine societal and gender norms.
If you are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to work through the intricacies of your identity, relationships, and trauma, I am here to help you achieve your goals and enhance your well-being. My trauma-informed approach ensures that our work is sensitive to the impact of past trauma on your current life.
