Hello, my name is Meg (she/her)! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy to adolescents and adults. My work is grounded in psychoanalytic thought and guided by my values of curiosity, authenticity, and presence. In therapy with me, there is space for the feelings and experiences you’ve carried alone—the ones that feel heavy, complicated, or difficult to put into words. Many therapies focus on managing symptoms or teaching strategies to “feel better.” While those approaches can provide temporary relief, they often leave untouched the deeper layers of suffering, despair, and longing that shape your inner world.

A psychoanalytic frame allows us to slow down and listen deeply. In this steady, reliable space, we can explore how your history lives in the present: how early wounds and unmet needs echo through your current relationships, patterns, and ways of being. Together, we will stay with what is painful and hard to hold, not to erase it, but to understand it, and to discover what it may be asking of you.

Therapy with me is not about quick fixes. It is about cultivating a thoughtful, consistent space where your suffering doesn’t need to be minimized, where your full self is welcome, and where even the most difficult feelings can be met with curiosity and care. Over time, this deep work allows patterns to loosen, self-understanding to deepen, and new ways of relating (to yourself, to others, and to life) to slowly take root.

My practice is explicitly anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed, rooted in the belief that our pain is never separate from our histories, our relationships, or the systems we live within.

If my style resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience supporting clients through a range of struggles, including anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders, and I am especially drawn to working with those navigating profound sadness, suicidal thoughts, or a sense of meaninglessness.
