CAREER:
Meg has a passion for working with caregivers, health care workers, first responders, individuals in corporate America and past/present/future athletes with anxiety, worry, sadness, grief and complex trauma. Specifically a focus on empowerment when faced with shifts and transitions-in life, plans, relationships with self and others, career, and healing past burdens and wounds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
I grew up on Long Island, New York, with a strong interest in sports psychology. After earning a degree in psychology from SUNY Geneseo, I went on to coach collegiate women’s soccer and lacrosse, where I quickly developed a passion for helping athletes navigate both the mental and physical demands of life on and off the field. I pursued a graduate degree in mental health counseling from the University of Rochester, dedicating my postgraduate years to serving community mental health clinics in Upstate New York. With over eight years of experience as a therapist and clinical supervisor, I have been offering my services exclusively through private practice since 2021. I have expanded my practice to also serve clients in South Carolina.
Together, we can push back against the confusion, mixed messages, loneliness, and isolation that often accompany modern life. We will create a personalized, client-centered approach focused on your unique needs and goals. Fostering a safe space to find your voice, practice new skills, and set the foundation for meaningful change outside of sessions. Mental Health support is crucial, even for high-functioning individuals who may appear to have it all together on the surface. Many high achievers struggle with underlying stress, burnout, or unresolved trauma that can impact their well-being and relationships. Therapy offers opportunity to process their experiences, manage stress, and focus on post-traumatic growth.
I believe that disconnection is a key contributor to dis-ease. I am committed to continuous learning and have developed a focus and interest in Internal Family Systems, DBT-based skills, and Solution-Focused techniques. Recovery and personal growth are achievable, especially when we prioritize mental health as part of a balanced and fulfilling life. As the mental health field evolves, I remain dedicated to refining my skills through ongoing education, attending professional trainings, and practicing self-care. This commitment allows me to model and support the same healthy practices I encourage my clients to incorporate into their own lives.
I live with my husband and our two cats . We relocated to the Charleston, South Carolina area from Western/Upstate New York. I am a certified yoga instructor and enjoy my home and studio practices. My hopes to complete another half marathon are alive as well.
I am currently accepting new clients that are located in the state of New York and South Carolina.
I have a dynamic approach for therapy currently pulling from IFS and DBT informed practices, narrative and strength based and solution focused and humanistic perspectives. My therapy practice and professional growth are continually evolving and progressing alongside my personal growth as a human.
As humans we naturally experience feelings to help us stay alive and safe. When feelings and fears go into overdrive in our mind, body, and soul that begin to or further negatively impact our relationships or ability to work or care for ourself or others is a crucial time to seek out the support of a therapist and other resources. Through counseling we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
We may not be able to determine when things started feeling overwhelming but with therapy we may be able to help you piece together the feelings and experiences to help move forward. Through challenging thoughts and activating our body through breath or movement we can overcome these symptoms and restore balance in your mind, body, and soul.
Counseling can be beneficial to individuals to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship with self or others. Online sessions are held from the safety of your own home. Please reach out for more information on how to connect with this service if you are currently in New York State.
