Hi, I’m Megan—Licensed Therapist (LCSW) Starting therapy in college can feel overwhelming—maybe you’re navigating new independence, academic pressure, identity questions, or a recent breakup. Or maybe you're simply looking for someone steady to talk to. Whatever brings you here, I aim to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and actually helpful—not stiff or one-sided. I work with students managing a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in trauma-informed care. I have a particular interest in working with students who are high-functioning on the outside but feeling overwhelmed or stuck internally—those who are used to keeping it together for everyone else but could use some space to focus on themselves. Whether you’re sorting through a situationship, burnout, or just trying to figure out who you are in this stage of life, I offer a nonjudgmental space to reflect, feel supported, and build lasting change. Humor and real talk welcome.
