Message from Meredith:

I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals, couples, and families to break free from the patterns that keep us most stuck. I firmly believe that we all make perfect sense within our unique stories and that people are always doing their very best with their current knowledge and tools. When we are struggling to manage our emotions and relationships, we are often caught in painful cycles we are not consciously choosing.

In partnership with me, clients find the methods that can untangle us, once and for all, from our most knotted sources of limitation and pain.

The quality of our relationships, with both our loved ones and ourselves, determines our ability to thrive. When we can effectively identify and heal our external and internal conflicts, new paths forward appear. For this reason, I focus on building understanding and connection among (and within) individuals.

Too often people spend years in therapy learning to “manage” triggers. I target healing that leaves clients truly symptom-free and ready to show up to their lives in new ways. Throughout our process, I continuously share the science and why behind my approach. I also do not shy away from the existential, spiritual, and woo-woo exploration that I believe cannot be separated from deep work.

I would love to learn more about your story. Maybe, together, we can set you free.

My work with all clients is

LGBTQIA+ Affirming

I am deeply committed to providing a safe environment where clients can explore their experiences of gender, sexuality, and bodily autonomy with freedom and confidence. I also welcome clients who prefer or want to explore non-traditional relationship models.

Trauma-Informed

Trauma is a set of physiological responses that become imprinted in our bodies as a result of past experiences where we felt overwhelmed and alone. Our trauma history and our current trauma-driven reactions are extremely important to consider and treat as part of the therapeutic process.

Neurodivergence-Informed

ADHD, Autism, PDA, sensory processing issues, learning disabilities, and other brain differences can significantly impact how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. Acknowledging and attending to these differences is often critical to the success of therapy.

While I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I most often use

Internal Family Systems
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Relational Life Therapy
The Gottman Method
Somatic Experiencing
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
