In my practice, I approach all of my clients with compassion, support, openness and curiosity. I respect all forms of diversity, and the creative potential within all of us. I use a relational approach in my work, and believe that a genuine therapeutic relationship can facilitate the process of healing and self-discovery.

Services
The therapeutic approach Megan uses is psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on coming to terms with what is within us, rather than looking for ways to get rid of a particular symptom.
Working psychodynamically means paying particular attention to the exchange taking place between therapist and client rather than the discussion of ideas, giving advice or assigning labels.
This allows for an environment where defensive patterns are not just referred to but may be seen functioning for what they are, specifically to hinder our ability to face reality, feel discomfort, block intimacy and avoid vulnerability.
