Hello! My name is Megan. As a lesbian and AuDHD therapist at LP, providing queer-affirming and neurodivergent-affirming care is a priority to me. While we work together to help you process difficult situations and achieve your goals, I will do my part to ensure that our sessions are a safe and validating space for you to show up with all of your parts. My role is meeting you exactly where you’re at on your healing journey to support and empower you along the way.

The person-to-person connection in therapy is of the utmost importance to me. I am a deeply compassionate person with a true desire to help others find healing and growth.

I have the tools to help you engage with your life, and the people in your life, in a more meaningful, authentic, and peace-filled manner.
