My name is Meg. I use she/they pronouns and “came into my queerness” a little later in life after years of trying to fit myself into a heteronormative box. I am a firm believer that everyone’s journey is unique and that we are all responsible for who we ultimately become. I find myself constantly inspired by those who choose to take the steps necessary in pursuit of their purest authenticity and the creation of a life they love.
In addition to being a therapist, I am also an adjunct professor of Gender Studies at the College of Charleston; this background in academia has had a profound impact on my theoretical approach to counseling.
I use a person-centered intersectional approach that centers an intersectional and liberatory lens on the experiences of clients. I work with queer kids 12+ and adults of all ages (both queer and heteronormative). I have a focus working with individuals questioning their relationship with or experiencing difficulty with substances, those with experiences of trauma, those experiencing grief, loss, existential challenges, identity development, body image issues, sexual assault, and mood disorders. I am a member of SAIGE, earning credentialing through EMDRIA, and work with the Mental Health Assistance Program of We Are Family, a local queer youth support organization in Charleston, South Carolina. I currently utilize parts work and EMDR modalities along with some CBT and ACT.
In my spare time I coach an inclusive 2SLGBTQIA+ rugby team and engage in activism geared towards the liberation of minority groups from oppression and discrimination.
