Meghan utilizes humor and helps clients set actionable goals so they can make measurable changes. She believes the client/therapist relationship is the...
I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Pennsylvania, and I completed my PhD in Counseling Psychology.

Perhaps you are feeling depressed, anxious, or you're currently in substantial distress due to important changes or stressors in your life. Perhaps life is going well enough, but you simp...

My identities and life experiences give me a sense of being “in-between.” I’m a gender fluid, Puerto Rican person who grew up in the diaspora. I grew up in a military family and spent my childhood moving from place to place. As an adult, I continued to move, sp...
