Introduction: With Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples therapy — the #1 trusted name in couples counseling — and special training in sex therapy from the Northwest Institute on Intimacy, I help couples transform conflict to communication, sexual frustration to connection and pleasure, loneliness to friendship, teamwork, and love. I have years of experience setting people at ease to talk about difficult topics. My clients and I laugh together often even as we talk about challenging and intimate topics. I believe everyone deserves love, joy, peace, and pleasure and that all of us are capable of creating healthy change in our lives no matter our age, identity, history, or context. Some of my specialties are working with people who struggle with sexuality—particularly those from conservative religious faith traditions. With a commitment to social justice and non-discrimination, I work with adults, couples, and groups 18 years and older.

Megan was the right person at the right time for my wife and I as we were in a very bad place regarding our marriage and relationship. she gave us the tools to listen to each other and as my wife tells her Megan has a way that "calms her the f*** down." she also has a way of visually helping to see where you were and where you are now she allowed us to show our true colors (not pretty) in front of her and pinpoint what the real issues between us were she was great at explaining the cause and effect when there is conflict in a relationship.

Megan has been a wonderful therapist for my husband and I. She creates a comfortable environment that allows us as a couple to open up and make tremendous strides. Highly recommend!

Everything that Megan brought during our conversations was gold! I now have a running base knowledge of sexual health and relationship understandings. I feel very safe, seen and listened to in my chosen partner, something I wasn't really connecting the dots on when I started. Megan pieced together (very quickly) why I have been holding back in some parts of my relationship. With that newfound realization, Megan brought poignant and meaningful benefits to the both of us. I look forward to future conversations and hopefully learning even more.

Megan is gifted at listening, asking the right questions, and truly understanding a situation before making recommendations and offering guidance. I am grateful for the kindness she has shown me and I'm grateful to have her on my team. She is dedicated and talented, but also well grounded from years of research, study and dedication to her work. I have the most respect for her and look forward to working with her for years to come.

I also have a PhD in religion, sex, gender, and sexuality and have authored books on the intersection of these topics. I am an internationally known speaker and educator.
