More about Megan

15 years' experience
Female
LMFT

I have been working as a family therapist for fifteen years. I received a Master's Degree in 2007 and a Doctorate in 2010, and I have been training therapists for the last 10 years. I have extensive training and experience with couples, families, and individuals. I believe that, for the most part, people try the best that they can to live good lives, but they get stuck when confronted with the stresses of daily life, past trauma, relationships, and medical and mental health problems. I take a holistic view of healing, and encourage my clients to make small changes in their lives outside of therapy while we work on their unproductive beliefs and thoughts. These changes can include healthier physical living, connection to spirituality, or changes in their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. I believe that it is in our relationships with other people that we grow to our full potential, and that starts with the relationships I build with my clients.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
