Maybe you're in the middle of a hard transition, healing from something painful, or just feeling like you've lost track of who you are. Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to figure it out alone. Welcome! I'm Meghan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience and an MSW from Rutgers University. I've worked in many substance use and mental health settings, including detox, methadone clinics, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs, so I've walked alongside people at every stage of recovery. I work with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I believe every person carries an inner light, even through the darkest phases of life.
