ABOUT MEGAN
I see you…
What you’re searching for isn’t out there.
In a therapy consultation, M sits across from me and shares her story, which sounds similar to others I have heard. She's known something was wrong for a while. Overwhelmed. Not herself in situations that used to feel manageable. So she tried harder. Planned better. Got more on top of things at work, more organized at home, more disciplined about all of it.
It didn't help. It made things worse. And it came to a head one day in a meeting with her boss, when she realized she couldn't hold it together anymore.
What she didn't know yet, and what I've come to understand deeply, both in my work and in my own life, is that she'd spent all of that effort trying to control things that were never hers to control. That's not a failure of discipline. It's just the wrong target.
I know this because I've lived a version of it myself.
I've always been driven. Striving was how I proved to myself that I was capable. It worked, until it didn't. After my second child was born, I looked around one morning and realized I had nothing left to give. Between my therapy practice, my marriage, and being a mom of two, I had reached a limit I'd never encountered before. Every voice around me said the same thing: give more. More drive at work. More availability to my spouse. More energy and attention for my kids. I didn't know what to do with a limit I wasn't supposed to have.
What shifted everything was a simple realization: I wasn't the cause of everything, and I wasn't the solution to everything either. Instead of carrying full ownership of every part of my life, I started asking questions about my relationship to each piece of it. What parts of my work were actually working for me in this season, and which weren't? The answers weren't out there. They were already in me. I just hadn't been asking.
Early in my career, I worked as a medical social worker in hospice. I loved that work, and it taught me something I couldn't have learned any other way: if I wanted to stay in a profession I cared about, I had to learn real boundaries. Not as a limitation, but as the thing that let me keep showing up for the people who needed me.
That lesson has shaped everything about how I practice today.
WHAT WORKING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE
I've been in private practice for 14 years.
I work with women who are driven, capable, and quietly out of gas, women who have already tried everything they know how to try. What I offer isn't another strategy to push harder. It's help finding your way back to your own answers, the ones that were always inside you.
I won't tell you what should matter to you. I will help you hear yourself clearly enough to find out.
