It’s important work to step into counseling as an individual or with your loved ones. I admire those who make this commitment to growth and well-being. I’m honored to come alongside clients, providing therapeutic space to be honest without judgment. I’m passionate about giving clients autonomy, providing clarity, and being open to their feedback. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where both client and therapist play important roles: the client bringing their holistic self, and the therapist empathizing, tracing patterns, providing curiosity and insight, and working together toward meeting goals and living out personal values.

I enjoy working with couples, families, individual men, women, and teens! I have experience working in non-profit outpatient counseling centers and addiction treatment centers in addition to private practice. I especially enjoy helping families affected by addiction, working with couples longing to get unstuck and to experience lasting connection, and empowering teens with space to process and skills to manage stressors. I’m also passionate about supporting individuals through transitions across the lifespan, and through personal and spiritual identity work.

Hi, I’m Meagan, and I’m glad you’re here! If you’ve made it this far, I imagine you’re at the end of your rope, reaching out for some help.

Recent college grad or young adult trying to navigate adulthood? So many feelings come alongside that journey - fear, inadequacy, excitement…the list goes on. If you’d like someone to walk alongside you as you process life changes and personal challenges, you’ve come to the right place!

I take creative approaches to counseling for those who desire it, including:

Sand Tray;
Walk and Talk; and
Expressive Arts.

My approach to counseling is strengths-based, meaning that I draw on the intrinsic assets already inside of you. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and provide a safe environment for you to explore it.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, riding my motorcycle, and spending time with family and friends.

My philosophy is that every client that walks through my office door already possesses the answers to their problems. They just don’t know they do. I believe that counseling is a healing collaboration between counselor and client, where the client as the expert, and the counselor alongside the client, together evoke the emotional, psychological, and physical changes identified and desired by the client.
I earned both my undergraduate degree in psychology(2008) as well as my master’s in professional counseling(2011) from Georgia State University. I began my career working mainly with survivors of trauma. I believe that trauma is a part of life and began noticing a strong correlation between trauma, anxiety, and emotional eating and weight gain.
I work with weightloss in a unique way, by helping you get to the root of the issue. Whether its a childhood trauma or an unhealthy coping skill, together in collaboration with your body lets find the answer.
