I help high‑achieving women trade survival mode for balance that actually lasts.
Hey, I’m Megan.
I provide anxiety and burnout therapy for high-achieving women (many of them moms), using a nervous-system informed, no‑BS approach. That means we don’t just talk about your stress—we work with what your body is actually doing, untangle the resentment and mental load, and build tiny, realistic shifts that fit your real life.
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.”
My background & approach
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.
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.
