More about Megan

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion to help others create the best version of themselves. I have been a social worker for 15 years and have worked with multiple diverse populations in non profit settings, medical and behavioral health hospitals and private clinics. Life can be overwhelming so I utilize a holistic approach to view many aspects of life and how they can impact our wellbeing. I believe in breaking down tasks with small and attainable goals to identify and treat any underlying issues.

I provide a safe, judgement free space where people are able to be express themselves. I can't wait to talk more and look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
