However, it can be the most impactful and rewarding step toward positive change.

College can feel overwhelming, like a whirlwind of pressure, uncertainty, and loneliness. Between the constant juggling of assignments, social expectations, and worry about the future, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly on edge. Even small decisions feel like they’re too much to handle. Relationships can become confusing and draining, leaving you questioning your worth or feeling misunderstood. It’s exhausting, and sometimes it feels like no one truly understands the depth of what you're going through. But you're not alone, and there is a way through this. I’m here to help you find your way back to a place of calm and confidence. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, whether it’s the thoughts that keeps you up at night, the uncertainty about who you are or where you’re headed, or the people in your life that leave you feeling drained or disconnected. We’ll work to uncover the deeper feelings and thoughts that drive these struggles, so you can learn to manage them, feel more at ease, and make choices that reflect your true self. I offer in-person and virtual sessions. Clients who work with me appreciate my calm, down-to-earth approach. Feel free to reach out for a quick consultation phone call too.

Accepting new clients! Life throws some real shit at us, and each of us deals with this in different ways. I am quite sure you have been judged by people who just don't get it. Or, maybe you're a person who doesn't show you are having struggles and you hide them. Either way, we all handle our shit differently, but I am here to help you. I have only one way in life, and that is authenticity with some added humor, OH, and some swear words here and there (it's my love language). If you have read this far, I might be your gal! Shoot me an email. I specialize in anxiety, and if you are here, you definitely can use some relief!
We believe that you are the master of your own life, and we believe that therapy is a joint process that we can navigate together. We cannot "fix" you or tell you what you "should" do. The journey is yours. We can be a support, and provide a safe space. We can guide you in learning and using tools which will allow you to better manage your symptoms and create and maintain healthy boundaries with yourself and others. The tools you learn and develop while you are going through your therapeutic journey are meant to also allow you to improve your ability to self-soothe, create and maintain healthier boundaries in your relationships, make decisions more effectively, and to better support, assert, and advocate for yourself once therapy ends. You are capable. Our mission is to provide more accessible services to underserved clients, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community, folx with neurodivergence, racial and ethnic minorities, and for other underserved populations who lack access to in-person services, or lack access to counselors competent in these areas due to living in areas that are smaller, more rural, or more conservative.

Hi, I’m Meg! I'm a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping individuals break free from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others. I take a whole-person approach to healing, integrating nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and cognitive processing. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, relationships, and ultimately, creating lasting, FELT change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can rebuild self-trust, confidence, and resilience.

There isn’t a one size “fix” all package for mental health. What works for one; may not work for another. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not the expert in your pain, your life, or your journey. You are. I am simply here to walk alongside you and be a resource for your growth. I believe one of the hardest and bravest things you can do for yourself, is to not only understand your story, but to continue growing from it. As a therapist, it is my goal to help others help themselves and is a motto I have lived by for years now and hope to incorporate this daily with my clients. It is not my role nor my desire to tell you how to live your life; rather, how you can get through some of those hard times, a little less scathed. From my personal experience, working with a therapist that practices empathy, listening, and building trust has helped me through some very dark times. It is my hope to practice these with every person I come into contact with. However small a role I can play in your growth and journey would be an honor. - www.speakeasygr.com (Speak;Easy Mental Wellness)
