***We are now offering low cost and Medicaid therapy for Colorado residents through our intern program! Please inquire for details.*** Are you looking for more authentic and joyful connections in your life? Do you want to feel more like yourself and live your life with integrity and healthy boundaries? Therapy can help. As a psychologist and family therapist who has worked in college counseling centers, I provide unique perspective and expertise to help you and your loved ones achieve long-lasting change. I provide individual, couple, and family therapy in most US states. We often seek therapy when the patterns we developed as self-protection in our early relationships are no longer working. I will encourage you to honor the creativity and strength evident in how you protected yourself, while helping you develop and practice new ways of relating that are more adaptive for your current life. You can live your life with more authenticity and less shame. You can experience relationships fully and feel known for who you truly are.

Greetings! I provide psychotherapy for adults and I specialize in treating PTSD/trauma-related disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopment difficulties, OCD, and addiction, and have experience with a wide range of other challenges. I also offer limited clinical assessments on a case-by-case basis, including cognitive and academic functioning. I work to create space for anyone who feels I may be of some help in exploring their personal experience and challenge themselves to confront their struggles. Above all, I work collaboratively with each individual to tailor therapy for their optimal healing. My background is in clinical health psychology, so I consider factors of both body and mind throughout treatment. I integrate trauma-specific, psychodynamic, exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, and incorporate neurobehavioral principles throughout. I also have considerable training in neuropsychological and psychological assessment. I see therapy as an endeavor to support others in discovering their own capacity for healing. I see human beings as complex, dynamic, multifaceted beings. Consequently, addressing mental health concerns requires robust, innovative methods for creating change. Above all, I work to support folks in finding ways to not simply address problems, but also thrive.

I have been working in the field since 2013 and from my experience working in hospital and residential treatment centers, I became interested in addressing trauma. Trauma can come in many forms, has an impact on all of our systems. Trauma is on a continuum of stress and includes severe stress as well as stress over an extensive period of time. Sometimes, we're not aware of this and it can show up as anxiety. I offer EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Hypnotherapy. Life has a way of showing us where our work is and I am honored to have been a part of many people's recovery.

Is pain from your past or worries about the future making it hard to enjoy the present? Do you want to have more fulfilling relationships with others? Hi there, my name is Meg, and I am happy you found my page! My goal is to guide you in rediscovering and accepting all the parts of what makes you, you. We achieve this together through compassionate care that helps you build confidence, find your voice, and figure out what really matters to you, whether that’s in your relationships, in your work, or how you spend your time. I also help you recognize patterns you’ve been stuck in, habits that don’t serve you anymore, or ways of being that might have been passed down through family, so you can break free from those cycles. I welcome you to my therapeutic space and am excited to get to know you! My therapeutic approach creates a space where you can share your stories while feeling truly heard and understood. Together, we look at what’s working in your life and what isn’t, then figure out how to make changes that feel true to who you actually are. Part of that often means learning to let go of and/or say no to things that drain you, and yes to things that feel meaningful. In this supportive space, I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in each of my sessions. I further tailor care to focus on skill building through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), explore patterns of behavior/change through Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma processing with Internal Family Systems (IFS), and build tolerance with anxiety-provoking situations through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as needed. Aside from building the tools to navigate symptoms and experiences related to mental health diagnoses, my ultimate goal is for you to feel realigned to your authentic self, to feel powerful and confident, and to find meaning in your life. Mental health wasn’t something that was prioritized or openly talked about in my family, so it wasn’t until early adulthood that I first began learning about therapy as a volunteer with AmeriCorps. My own experience in therapy eventually inspired me to become a therapist, and I’m deeply grateful for everything that journey has taught me and the ways it has given back to my life. Outside the office, you might find me wandering around a local thrift store, playing with my cat Phil, watching Survivor with my husband, drinking coffee and walking through the Botanic gardens, crocheting, or enjoying other crafty activities that help keep me balanced.

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong - even when things seem fine on the surface? Or like you’re stuck in patterns that you can’t explain but feel impossible to break? If you've found your way here, it's likely because you're carrying a burden that's become too heavy to bear alone. I help young professionals, college students, teens, & children harness the power of authenticity to experience growth and healing from past traumas, reclaim their vitality & peace, and create lasting connection to themselves & others. I am an LCSW and offer clinical supervision. My areas of expertise include anxiety + perfectionism, PTSD + grief, and relationships. I have specialized training in EMDR, IFS, & Synergetic Play Therapy. In sessions, we will prioritize building a trusting relationship, as this is the cornerstone of healing. I am a wife and mama to two energetic little humans who fill my cup daily. When I’m not therapist-ing, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, yoga, painting, being in nature, playing board games, and having living room dance parties. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your full and genuine self, while I do the same. If you are looking for a collaborative and compassionate approach to healing, consider scheduling a free 15 min. consultation. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on this journey of healing.
