Sometimes expressing ourselves requires more than words and at times we might make artwork together.

Client Testimonials:
“Megan is amazing. She helps me articulate feelings I'm having that I struggle to explain, and helps find solid solutions to what feels like impossible situations. It feels so refreshing to feel heard in a particularly lonely time in my life when I feel like no one else understands me. My postpartum period was a rough one, but just after about a month of working with Megan, I can honestly say I already feel like a new person.” - new mom in Pennsylvania
“This is the first time I have ever tried counseling, and I was a little hesitant at first. I was drawn to Megan because of her profile, and she has been everything I had hoped for. Her eclectic style of counseling has been helpful in tailoring to what I need, and she has given me many perspectives and insights I wouldn’t have come to on my own. I have talked to her about a wide variety of issues, and she always seems to have the knowledge and experience needed to best assist me. I feel like I have grown a lot in the short time I have been counseled by Megan.” - former client
“Megan is amazingly supportive and caring. I feel like I can always come to her to feel loved and amazing. She is very uplifting. I feel very blessed to face her as my therapist!” - former client, medical professional.
“I was absolutely terrified to start counseling again - I went through 5 or 6 other counselors before I found Megan. She is absolutely a perfect match for me. I feel like i finally have a completely safe and non-judgmental space to talk about all of my problems. You can also tell that she fully listens to you and she offers fantastic advice. She also gives you different things to try and many of them have significantly helped me out! I love working with Megan and highly recommend her to anyone!” - former client
