What It Feels Like to Work With Meagan

Clients often describe working with Meagan as supportive, understanding, and practical. She creates a space where clients feel comfortable sharing openly, even when discussing experiences that feel overwhelming or deeply personal.

Meagan brings curiosity and compassion into sessions, helping clients reflect on patterns, build insight, and develop tools that can be applied beyond therapy. Her goal is to support clients in feeling more in control of their lives, without pressure to have everything figured out.

Perspective and Philosophy

Meagan views therapy as a process of curiosity, awareness, and growth. She believes change begins when patterns are explored with compassion rather than resistance.

A guiding perspective in her work reflects this belief:
“What we resist persists.”

This philosophy informs her focus on helping clients notice and understand their experiences, rather than fighting or avoiding them, while building skills that support lasting change.

Special Interests and Strengths

Meagan has a strong interest in supporting individuals with anxiety, OCD, and self-esteem concerns. She is especially attentive to how negative thought patterns and emotional avoidance can reinforce distress over time.

Her experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors allows her to adapt therapy to different developmental stages and life contexts. She brings care and consistency to her work with clients navigating trauma, school stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
