​Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a licensed mental health therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Texas State University. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and respected. My approach to therapy is holistic and client-centered, built on the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel safe, understood, and empowered.  ​ Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with teens, young adults, and adults in a variety of settings, including a correctional complex, inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and private practice.

We’ll explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and environment, building practical strategies that help you feel more confident, connected, and in control of your life. ​ Most importantly, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and respect.
