Guiding You Toward Brighter Days

Trauma Therapy in Lafayette, Colorado

Life can feel overwhelming,
but you don’t have to face it alone.

About Megan

I believe therapy can be about more than reducing symptoms.

Healing often begins with finding relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic stress, but it doesn't end there. My hope is that therapy also helps you understand yourself with greater compassion, strengthen your relationships, reconnect with what matters most to you, and build a life that feels meaningful and authentic to who you are.

Our past shapes us, but it doesn't have the final say. Many of the ways we've learned to think, cope, or protect ourselves developed for good reasons. Together, we'll make sense of those patterns with curiosity instead of judgment, creating space for new ways of living that reflect who you are today.

I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are, without feeling like you have to have the right words or everything figured out.

Clients often describe me as grounded, thoughtful, and compassionate. I ask questions that encourage deeper understanding while offering practical tools that support meaningful change. I'll celebrate your growth, gently challenge the patterns that may no longer be serving you, and help you move toward the life you want to build.

Therapy with me is collaborative. I don't believe you're broken or that I have all the answers. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to bring knowledge, perspective, and support as we work together toward your goals.

Areas I'm Especially Passionate About

While I work with adults and older teens facing a variety of concerns, I have a particular passion for helping people recover from religious and spiritual trauma.

Whether you've experienced spiritual abuse, are questioning beliefs that once shaped your identity, or are healing after involvement in a high-control religion or cult, I understand how deeply those experiences can affect your sense of self, relationships, and trust.

I also enjoy working with people navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions of identity and purpose.

Therapy to meet you where you are

Every person brings a unique story into therapy, which is why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

My work is trauma-informed and integrates evidence-based approaches that help people understand themselves more deeply while creating practical, sustainable change. Depending on your goals, our work may include exploring the impact of past experiences, learning to work with your nervous system, processing trauma, strengthening self-compassion, and reconnecting with the values that guide your life.

Above all, I want therapy to feel like a place where insight leads to action. A place where healing creates room not only for relief, but for growth. Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way I work. These aren't just words, they’re the foundation of everything we build. I believe in doing great work, building real relationships, and making it easier for you to move through life with purpose and joy.

Education & Specialized Training

I believe learning is an ongoing part of being an effective therapist. In addition to a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and continuing professional development, I've pursued advanced training in trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and religious trauma so I can provide thoughtful, evidence-based care.

Outside the therapy office, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, hiking Colorado's foothills with my two dogs, practicing yoga, reading a book, or gardening.

These experiences remind me of the importance of slowing down, staying curious, and remaining connected to what helps me feel alive, values that naturally shape the way I approach therapy as well.

I Believe

  • Healing is possible.

  • Our past informs our present, but it doesn't define our future.

  • Small, meaningful actions create lasting change.

  • Understanding ourselves with compassion opens the door to growth.

  • Therapy isn't about becoming someone else, it's about becoming more fully yourself.

  • Hope doesn't require certainty.
