You’re the one everyone depends on — at work, at home, in your relationships. On the outside, you’re capable and successful. But inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and wondering why asking for help or setting boundaries feels so hard.

You may be navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, and the pressure to do it all flawlessly. You take care of everyone else and push your needs aside, hoping that being "easygoing" and accommodating will protect your relationships. But the constant overfunctioning is exhausting, and lately, the stress is starting to show up in your body, sleep, and mood.

I specialize in helping high-achieving women ages 25–60 who struggle with anxiety, resentment, and the invisible mental load. We’ll explore the roots of your anxiety, unpack the belief that love is conditional, and build healthier boundaries, without guilt. Together, we’ll make space for you to rest, reconnect with yourself, and make sustainable changes!

Cary-based therapist helping women 27–50 overcome anxiety, burnout, and relational stress. Specializing in boundary work, high-functioning anxiety, and emotional resilience.

Welcome

My name is Megan and I’d love to help.

As a therapist specializing in helping women overcome anxiety, I am passionate about my work. I provide a safe and supportive space for women to explore the root causes of their anxiety, which can stem from a variety of sources such as societal pressures, trauma, relationship dynamics, or career challenges. Through personalized counseling sessions, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop coping strategies, build resilience, and cultivate self-awareness. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a strengths-based approach, I empower women to reclaim control over their thoughts and emotions, fostering a sense of empowerment and renewed confidence. My goal is to guide each woman on a journey towards greater self-understanding, inner peace, and emotional well-being, ultimately helping them to live more fulfilling and balanced lives.

“Megan is, by far, the most compassionate and caring therapist that I have ever worked with. She helped me navigate through some of the most difficult times in my life. Words cannot adequately describe how thankful I am for Megan being there to support me when I needed support the most.”

  • Do you feel that your mind has started to work against you? Your drive and energy are now stuck in a cycle of questioning and overanalyzing. The line between rational worry and self-reflection is morphed into a paralyzing overwhelm that is consuming and won’t go away.

  • Are you going through a happy life transition (e.g. retirement, becoming a mother, becoming an empty nester) but instead of feeling joy are surprised by the feelings of loss? Or maybe your grief is due to trauma, a recent diagnosis, or loss of a person or relationship.
