I specialize in delivering client-centered therapy to individuals struggling to meet their full potential. Emotional wellness is crucial for successful functioning. I have a strong foundation in emotional, behavioral, and academic disabilities. I specialize in anxiety disorders, mood disorders, behavioral difficulties, relationship difficulties, executive dysfunction, school-related issues, chronic stress, mindfulness, and self-esteem.

I have a vast background in social work as an NYU graduate. Beginning with early intervention and ABA therapy all throughout Manhattan and growing into the Jewish Board of Child and Family Therapy learning CBT, family, group and couples therapy. Practicing for over 20 years with CBT and IFS modalities as I find them to be the most effective, compassionate and straightforward approach to getting to know the self with a kind lens. Our society wants us to be in resistance to ourselves and we get to take a look at how that impacts us together. There is nothing wrong with your feelings, it is how they were treated that was wrong.

Maybe you're moving through a difficult transition, healing from something painful, or simply feeling disconnected from who you are-Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to navigate this season alone. Welcome! My name is Meghan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Throughout the last 10 years, I have adapted my approach as person-centered and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that every person carries an inner light—even through the darkest phases of life. My mission is to create a safe, compassionate, and creative space where individuals can reconnect with themselves, navigate life’s transitions, and cultivate meaningful change. Throughout my clinical career, I have worked across a variety of mental health and substance use settings including partial care, outpatient and intensive outpatient programs, methadone clinics, detox, and residential treatment. I have supported individuals experiencing a range of concerns, including personality disorders, addiction and substance use, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I believe healing is a journey we don’t have to navigate alone- one that is both collective and uniquely our own, with space to honor every phase, find our rhythm and reconnect with the light within.
