Therapy for Work/Life Balance

Therapy for Women Who Carry It All — And Feel It All

Helping professional women in Cary, NC find relief from anxiety, resentment, and the invisible mental load.

Is This You?

You’re the strong one. The capable one.
You check the boxes, support your people, and do what needs to be done — always. But lately, you’re running on empty. You feel anxious, easily irritated, and weighed down by resentment, even though you love the people in your life deeply.

You wonder:

  • Why do I always feel like it’s all on me?

  • Why is setting boundaries so hard for me?

  • Why do I feel guilty when I think about asking for more?

This is what I help with.

Therapy That Gets You.

I work with high-achieving, professional women — often between 25 and 50 — who are burned out from people-pleasing, overfunctioning, and quietly carrying the emotional weight in their relationships. Whether you're dealing with high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling stuck in resentment, therapy can help you shift out of survival mode and into a life that feels less reactive, more spacious, and deeply aligned with who you are.

Common Issues I Support Women With

  • High-functioning anxiety

  • Relationship stress and resentment

  • People-pleasing and perfectionism

  • Mental load and emotional burnout

  • Boundaries (and the guilt that comes with them)

  • Physical symptoms of chronic stress

  • Feeling unseen or unappreciated in relationships

  • Fear that love is conditional on being “easy” or “helpful”

About Megan

Hi, I’m Megan — a licensed therapist in Cary, NC.
I help women who are outwardly successful but inwardly overwhelmed find clarity, self-compassion, and relief from the roles and rules that no longer serve them.

My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I integrate CBT, narrative therapy, and the Enneagram to support deep, sustainable growth.

In-Person Weekly Therapy in a Space Designed for You

I offer standing appointment in-person therapy sessions at my private office in the Preston area of Cary, NC. This space was intentionally curated to feel calm, comfortable, and safe — a quiet, private place for you to step away from daily demands and interruptions.

Many women I work with spend most of their lives meeting other people’s needs. Coming weekly into a dedicated space for therapy creates powerful separation from that pattern. It’s an act of self-respect — a commitment to your own care, clarity, and healing.

You don’t have to navigate this alone, and you don’t have to do it from your home/office.

You Don’t Have to Keep Doing This Alone

The version of you that’s calm, clear, and connected is still here — she’s just buried under years of pressure and overgiving. Therapy can help you reconnect with her.

Working with Megan has been life-altering for me and I can't imagine where I would be had I not begun working with her.

  • Working with Megan was a life-changing experience. Megan gave me the tools to help me understand myself better and navigate my various roles; as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and colleague. The skills I gained helped me process, reflect on, and take action in my personal and professional life.
