Helping Professional Women Overcome Anxiety & Burnout

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 struggle with anxiety, burnout, and wonder 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 without missing a step. 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, burnout, 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!

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

I work with high-achieving women who are burned out from overfunctioning and tired of pretending everything’s fine. In therapy, we look beneath the surface—at old patterns, invisible expectations, and the parts of you that have been ignored for too long.

My style is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. I create a space where you can lay it all down without judgment. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s really going on, explore healthier boundaries, and start to untangle anxiety from your identity.

This work isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about real insight, self-compassion, and reclaiming your life from the inside out.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together alone.

“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.”

Services

Are you dealing with any of these issues?

You don’t have to do it alone

  • 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 change is due to trauma, a recent diagnosis, or loss of a person or relationship.

  • We fill many roles: a parent, a spouse, a child, and a professional. At times, it can feel like keeping them all in balance and doing them all “well” is impossible.
