Couples are the foundations of a family and a strong couple relationship offers the secure base family members require. Meagan is committed to making therapy a safe environment where clients are free to be their genuine, vulnerable, and true selves in order to transition to a better sense of wholeness.

I believe we all have within us what it takes to grow, heal, and work towards our goals, and I am honored to be a part of this journey with my clients. If you’re not sure what to expect from counseling, that’s okay! Working with me starts with getting to know your story, what you’re struggling with, and what your goals are. You can ask me questions about my training, experience, and philosophy to help you determine if I could be a good fit for you.
I am currently licensed as a Clinical Mental Health counselor working with individuals, parents, and families. I graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelors in Integrated Studies, and earned my Masters in Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado where I received additional supervised Play Therapy training.
I am EMDR trained. I work from a non-directive, client-centered philosophy, supplementing this with more direct approaches such as skill-building and mindfulness. I work with youth, adolescents, and adults, and specialize in child-centered approaches, LGBTQ+ concerns, and trauma. I am also experienced with ASD/neurodivergent clients.
