new york CIty
Welcome,
If you found your way here, chances are something in your life feels ready for change. Many of my clients have careers, relationships, and lives that look good from the outside, even enviable at times, but privately feel disconnected, stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. Something isn’t necessarily wrong, but something doesn’t feel quite right either. I’ve been there.
I know how daunting and vulnerable it can feel to start this process.
With an overwhelming number of options, approaches, and therapy buzzwords at your fingertips, I also recognize that it can be hard to know where to begin or who to trust.
I work with individuals and couples in their 20s, 30s and 40s seeking deeper connection—with themselves, their partners, and their bodies. You might be struggling with anxiety, body image, self-confidence, identity questions, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, or major life changes. Together we can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and help you move forward with greater clarity, intention, and joy.
If you're facing a specific challenge or simply sensing that something in your life needs attention, I’d be honored to support you.
— Meghan

individual therapy
As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with clients in their 20s-40s navigating life transitions, identity questions, anxiety, burnout, emotion regulation, relationship challenges, family dynamics, body image, men’s issues, and more.
-
couples counseling
Do you ever feel like you and your partner are stuck in a never ending cycle? As a Gottman and EFT trained therapist, I help couples understand their relationship patterns, improve communication, and deepen their emotional and intimate connections.
-
sex therapy
There’s no such thing as TMI in this space. As a sex-positive, kink-affirming therapist, I work with clients of all genders and sexual orientations in exploring mindful embodiment, sexual pleasure, shame, and sexual dysfunction.
My path to becoming a therapist was not linear, and this work is personal and sacred to me. Before entering the field, I spent 12 years in competitive professional and academic environments, achieving and performing while feeling deeply disconnected from myself. I was drawn to this field due to my own life-changing experience in therapy.
I help clients explore the deeper roots of what may be keeping them stuck, including childhood experiences, attachment patterns, and internalized beliefs and narratives. I also use evidence-based mindfulness and somatic practices to support clients in slowing down, reconnecting with their bodies, and building insight into challenges related to body image, relationships, intimacy and self-worth.
While the tools and techniques are important, I believe the true magic happens when an authentic, trusting, and safe relationship is developed between the therapist and client. I encourage my clients to show up messy in session, to say the things that feel shameful to admit out loud, and to bring curiosity to areas where judgment and self-criticism run the show.
In my personal life, I love live music, trying new restaurants, and exploring all that New York has to offer. I’m a city girl at heart but you’ll also find me recharging with friends and family at the beach or in the mountains.

Get in Touch
If you’re curious about starting therapy or want to learn more, feel free to reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation.
I will typically respond via text and/or phone call within 24 hours.
-
Getting started is simple. Once you reach out, we’ll set up a 15-minute free phone consultation to talk through what you’re hoping to work on and answer initial questions.
If it feels like a good fit, I’ll send over an intake form and scheduling information. From there, we’ll set up our first session and begin the work together.
My goal is to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible so that we can focus on what brought you here, not the logistics.
-
Absolutely! Many clients come to me for support with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply wanting to feel more confident and connected.
You don’t need to have a specific “issue” to benefit from therapy; this is a space to explore whatever feels most important to you, at your own pace.
-
You don’t need to be in crisis to start or seek support. If you’re feeling stuck, struggling with your emotions, or want to understand yourself better, therapy can offer clarity, practical tools and a judgment-free space to explore what’s going on inside your mind and body.
It’s normal to feel unsure. If you’re curious to learn more, reach out to schedule a consultation and we can determine whether therapy might be the right next step for you.

My fees range from $175-225 per session, depending on whether you are working individually or as a couple.
Financial concerns don’t have to prevent you from accessing care. I offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions. I also offer hands-on support in navigating your out-of-network insurance benefits.
-
I am not in-network with insurance providers; however, over 80% of the clients I work with are eligible for partial reimbursement
I offer hands-on support to help clients navigate their out of network insurance benefits. If you have questions or need support understanding your benefits, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider about out-of-network mental health benefits:
What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of that deductible have I already met?
What is the coverage period for my current plan (e.g. calendar year or policy year)?
Once my deductible is met, what percentage of each session is reimbursed (also known as my co-insurance rate)?
Are there specific forms or procedures I need to follow to submit a reimbursement request?
How much time do I have to submit a superbill after my session?
If they ask for billing codes, here is what to share
90834 for individual therapy
90847 for couples or family sessions
90846 for family psychotherapy (without patient present)
