About Megan

Hi! I’m Megan (they/she). I’m glad you’re here.

I help couples, relationships, and individuals explore identities, build healthier patterns of communication, and experience greater connection, authenticity, and pleasure in their intimate relationships. I am particularly passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community in building resiliency, empowerment, and joy through a trans- and queer-affirming framework.

My clinical approach is informed by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), differentiation models of couples therapy (Bader/Pearson and Schnarch), Internal Family Systems (IFS), modern psychodynamic theory, and queer theory, amongst many others. I aspire to provide a validating, non-judgmental, and liberatory space for people to explore how past experiences have shaped current beliefs and patterns.

My office is located in Saint Louis City.

I also offer online sessions throughout Missouri and Colorado.

I chose to become a therapist because I’ve always been captivated by personal stories and our processes of making sense of the world around us. I am drawn to questions such as: How do power, privilege, and oppression play a part in our understandings of ourselves and our own humanity? Why do we build the patterns and defense mechanisms that we do? How can we take steps toward feeling seen, heard, understood, validated, and powerful? Sitting in the therapist’s chair is an honor, as I join the people I work with in their courageous journey of self-discovery and healing.

Outside of work, I find peace and respite from the busy world by moving my body, and connecting with nature and loved ones, whether that be deepening my meditation practice, hiking through rugged forest trails with my wife and our big goofy dog Milton, or savoring a beautiful home-cooked meal with chosen family.
