About Megan

Megan aims to help individuals find their authentic selves and develop the confidence to convey their true selves to the world.

Oftentimes, we lose sight of what we truly want for ourselves. Megan’s goal is to empower you to focus on your own experiences rather than on what others expect of you. Born and raised in the Washington Metro area, Megan understands firsthand how the stress of the DMV lifestyle can affect one’s personal life, work life, and home life. People who work with Megan describe her as creative, quirky, empathetic, and reliable.

Megan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (PRC15421) and therapist at Juniper Blu Collective. She has seven years of experience helping children and adults work through behavioral and emotional struggles related to depression, PTSD, grief, substance abuse, eating disorders, body image, anxiety, family concerns, and sexuality. In addition, she has experience working with children navigating a range of learning disabilities, autism, and Asperger’s. Megan is trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and incorporates various therapeutic approaches to help you address any unfinished business that interferes with you being your whole self. Through this work, you will begin the process of self-acceptance and develop control over your behaviors and choices. Megan utilizes creative techniques that allow people to break out of old patterns of behavior that keep them from thriving and uncover new perspectives and solutions for the challenges they may be facing. Emboldening people to exercise creativity allows them to develop the confidence to seek new ways to reshape their patterns of thinking, believing, and doing into more successful, beneficial ways of being.

Megan earned her Master’s degree in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University and her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Syracuse University. She provides virtual therapy through Juniper Blu Collective.
