You remember a time when you weren’t this crispy and exhausted all the time…
when you could actually enjoy your life without your brain running worst‑case scenarios in the background…
when resentment toward your partner, kids, job, or friends wasn’t your default setting.
Those days feel like a distant memory.
You wish you had the tools to change that.
I’m Megan, and I help high‑achieving millennial women (many of them moms) who are burned out, anxious, and carrying way too much on their own. My clients have it within them to feel grounded, calm, and connected again—they just need support that actually fits their real lives.
I help my clients find more calm in their bodies, more clarity in their boundaries, and more compassion for themselves by giving them tools to understand what their nervous system is doing, speak up about what they need, and stop treating themselves like a machine.
Many of today’s “solutions” for anxiety and burnout are either surface‑level (“just relax!”) or one‑size‑fits‑all. That leaves a lot of women feeling like they’re the problem, or like they’re doing therapy “wrong” because nothing actually changes day‑to‑day.
I know your circumstances are unique, so our work is tailored to you—your history, your nervous system, your relationships, your responsibilities. We’re not throwing generic coping skills at a life that’s already overflowing.
First, we get really honest about what’s happening: how burnout, resentment, and anxiety are showing up in your body, your relationships, your work, and your day‑to‑day. Then, we start calming your nervous system and making small, specific changes—like practicing boundaries, shifting patterns, and building in tiny pockets of actual rest—that move you out of survival mode.
Through our work together, you’ll build the skills and self‑trust you need to stop white‑knuckling your way through life and start feeling genuinely okay in your own skin again—even when things are still busy and imperfect.
WHY YOU CAN TRUST ME
Therapy with me is collaborative, empowering, and centered on the belief that you already hold the wisdom you need—you just need space and support to access it.
I am dedicated to helping women move out of constant burnout and anxiety and feel genuinely okay in their own lives again—not just “holding it together” on the outside.
My training in anxiety, trauma, and nervous‑system informed care means I have the expertise you need and deserve when you’re trying to untangle burnout, resentment, and that “always on edge” feeling. I understand how stress lives in the body, how past experiences shape the way you react now, and how to use practical, evidence‑based tools (not fluff) to help your system calm down so real change is actually possible.
But let’s be honest: at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who gets what it means to be a high‑achieving millennial woman (often a mom, often with a spicy/ADHD brain) who is completely fried. Someone who understands what it’s like to be the “responsible one,” the one people lean on, the one who remembers everything—while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep doing this.
I get it because I’ve devoted my career to working with women exactly like you:
women who grew up being the fixer, the helper, the overachiever,
women who have always pushed through and “figured it out,”
women who now find themselves snappy, numb, or on the verge of tears over one more text, email, or request.
As a mom of 3, I know how heavy it feels to carry the mental load, the expectations, and the guilt all at once. I know that some days you fantasize about running away to a cabin and turning your phone off forever. I know that you can love your people and still feel resentful, touched‑out, and totally overwhelmed. And I know how confusing it is to look at your “fine” life and still feel like your brain and body are in a constant state of alarm.
You get a therapist who truly understands what you’re going through and who knows how to help your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self slowly shift from “I can’t keep doing this” to “I can breathe, I have options, and I actually recognize myself again.”
therapy with me is different because..
I keep it real.
No jargon, no ivory tower therapist vibes. I bring my professional expertise and my humanity into the room, so you feel like you’re working with someone who truly gets it. My clients often tell me it feels like talking to a trusted friend—except with actual tools that help.
We go beyond talk therapy.
Anxiety, trauma, and burnout don’t just live in your mind—they live in your body. That’s why I use somatic therapy and nervous system regulation techniques to help you release stress physically, not just think about it differently.
You leave with tools you can actually use.
Therapy isn’t just about processing—it’s about equipping you with practical strategies you can carry into your relationships, parenting, career, and everyday life. You’ll walk away with nervous system resets, coping skills, and mindset shifts that make life feel more manageable and meaningful.
