My background working alongside individuals and families during times of crisis, transition, and uncertainty has shaped my interest in supporting clients navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.

I have worked in the mental health field for the past decade and believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where clients feel accepted for exactly how they are showing up, without judgment or pressure to be anywhere other than where they are in that moment.

Hi, I’m Meaghan, a graduate therapist and a Master of Social Work student at Columbia University. My approach is grounded in the belief that people are the experts on their own lives and have the freedom to make choices that align with their values and beliefs. My core values include transparency, collaboration, empowerment, cultural competency, and autonomy.

I have confidence working creatively with people from all backgrounds and belief systems and especially enjoy helping people process emotions through expressive arts. I have unusually diverse life experiences and can help people who are experiencing lasting pain, confusion, or difficulty in their relationships and everyday lives.

I am passionate about supporting people as they explore their emotions, relationships, identity, and how their experiences have shaped them. I create a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable talking about what is important to you.‍

My experience as both an educator and school counselor for the past 20 years has given me a deep appreciation for the many emotions that life brings, especially when entering a new chapter. Whether you’re facing an exciting opportunity, adjusting to an unexpected change, or feeling uncertain about what comes next, transitions can bring anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt alongside the possibility for growth.

I have developed a strong passion for helping others and creating meaningful connections through listening, empathy, and conversation. I value creating a welcoming and respectful environment for people from diverse backgrounds.

As a wife, mother of two, full-time student, and therapist, I truly understand the balancing act and pressures of daily life. While challenges are inevitable, I believe everyone possesses inherent strengths and talents that can help them navigate difficult seasons.

My approach is easy-going and compassionate. I’m especially interested in working with young adults navigating identity, relationship stress, confidence and self-esteem struggles, grief and loss, trauma, or new chapters of life. I also support those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and OCD.‍

As a writer, musician, and artist, I love integrating expressive, creative modalities into our work. Creative expression and metaphors often help us explore feelings that are difficult to put into words. Using narrative, somatic, and cognitive approaches, we will work together to re-author your story and deepen self-compassion.

As an artist, I bring a deep curiosity and spirituality to our work together, embracing the complex and sometimes confusing forces that make us who we are. I take a creative and open-minded approach to our sessions, meeting you where you are to help you live an even fuller, richer, more meaningful life.

Before training as a therapist I lived a few other lives: Navy rescue swimmer, conservatory-trained actor, portrait photographer, college professor, entrepreneur. I am still an artist, and I especially love working with performers and other creatives, people who know what it costs to build a self for an audience.

Life is not meant to be survived, your life is meant to be lived fully. As a graduate therapist-in-training, I would love to collaborate and help you develop the tools to take steps towards that full life with confidence.

Being human means holding complexity: the weight of past experiences, the stories we tell ourselves, the courage it takes to be vulnerable and ask for what we need. This work is uncertain and honest, and on the other side of it is real clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My style is direct, collaborative, and focused on practical change—not endless processing without movement. In session, we dig in, build skills, and create strategies that hold up under pressure.

I approach each person with curiosity, empathy, and cultural humility, recognizing that everyone’s experiences, identities, relationships, and environments shape the challenges they face.

Having experienced a significant career transition myself from corporate finance to therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to feel uncertain about what comes next while trying to balance outside expectations with what you genuinely want for yourself.

My work is always identity-affirming and informed by social justice-oriented frameworks, with an understanding that each person exists within a larger social, cultural, and relational context.

Before counseling, I spent many years as an educator and instructional coach, which shaped my belief in supportive relationships and individualized guidance.

I have worked as a teacher and a counselor in the past. I enjoy getting to know people and learning how they have come to be the person they are and the factors that have influenced their identity. Any challenges I have faced in my own life have given me insight and shown me how strength and resiliency are often built through adverse experiences.

My goal is to provide compassionate, honest, direct mental health care. I aim to be as realistic and authentic as possible while providing cognitive-behavioral therapy. I have experience with life transitions, emotional regulation, and anxiety/depression.

I have a worldly, grounded approach to therapy that is nonjudgemental and centers your personal journey -- I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable shedding your armor and bringing to light the misunderstood feelings or qualities that others told you to hide.

Counseling can be meaningful and challenging while still being enjoyable. Expect to laugh, be challenged, get curious, and -dare I say-have a little bit of fun along the way. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. We can start exactly where you are.

My life experiences have shaped the way I see people, relationships, and therapy.

They’ve deepened my belief in living with purpose and creating a life that feels meaningful and true to who you are. I’m especially passionate about somatic therapy and believe the body tells a story. Our experiences, emotions, relationships, and physical responses are all connected.

I truly understand what it means to feel like things won't get better. I know how heavy uncertainty can be, but I've also lived through the process of navigating the darkness to find the small wins again. That lived experience shapes a profound empathy, ensuring you are met with real understanding rather than clinical detachment.

I believe that even when life feels heavy, there's still room for humor and moments of lightness. My approach is compassionate, conversational, and collaborative, and I want our work together to feel like a genuine conversation where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.

At the heart of my work are compassion, responsibility, and loyalty—and the belief that doing what is right, even when difficult, matters. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are more than the challenges they are facing.

I want you to feel like we’re a team throughout the process. Rather than telling you what you “should” do, I’m here to listen, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and work with you to find what feels right for you.

As a mom who's balanced raising young children with full-time work and school, and as someone who's navigated complex family relationships, I understand how the many layers of life can shape how we feel and function day to day.

Together, we'll explore somatic practices, mindfulness, and other holistic modalities.

Through a queer ecofeminist lens, I explore the intersectionality of race, gender, sexuality, our connection to the environment/natural world and transcendence from systemically oppressive paradigms. I am interested in helping folks navigate concerns related to self-esteem, sexual health dis-ease, body image, generational trauma and existentialism around one's identity & purpose.

I’m not here to tell you who to be or what you “should” do. Instead, I want to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I’m warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and willing to gently challenge you when it can help you grow.

I love working with curious, insightful young adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, questions around meaning and purpose, or a sense that something in their life is ready to shift.

My practice is rooted in the recognition that human experience naturally involves difficult feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
