Welcome! My name is Megan and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have experience working with clients as young as 4 years old and up. I frequently work with clients who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, and relationship problems.
Trauma leaves us feeling broken, unhappy, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling anxious and overwhelmed in your relationships, feeling hopeless or not good enough. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to rediscover yourself and find out who you are. You’re ready to have freedom from your past trauma. Most of all, you’re ready to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships!
I support deep-feeling individuals in gaining self‐knowledge, confidence in their own intuition and voice, and practical tools to navigate challenges when they resurface. My work is collaborative and person‐centered; I see therapy as a process of guiding you back to yourself, rather than telling you what you should do.
Together, we explore how past experiences may be impacting your life today, build awareness of your nervous system, and create space for clarity around your purpose and goals.
I am LGBTQIA+ and multiculturally informed and welcome diverse communities into my practice.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Stockton
Searching for postpartum therapists in Stockton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you review therapists, look for listed experience with maternal mental health therapy, perinatal care, or support for new parents. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.
In a mid-size city like Stockton, you may find a mix of local therapists and virtual options across California. For new parents, virtual therapy can make care easier to fit around infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. As you narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum and maternal counseling.
Therapy in Stockton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is a reliable way to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
