Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Supervised by Megan Paterson LMFT #53371
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working toward LMFT licensure. Clinical focus includes adults and couples navigating trauma, nervous system dysregulation, neurodivergence, and perinatal or life-stage transitions — with particular emphasis on women experiencing identity shifts, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and relational stress during periods of change. Additional interests include spiritual and existential concerns and harm-reduction-informed coping patterns. Experience spans telehealth and in-person care within both insurance-based and private-pay settings.

Cancelation Policy
If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please provide at least 24 business hours’ notice for appointments that are 60 minutes or less. For appointments longer than 60 minutes, at least 48 hours’ notice is required. Cancellations made with less notice are charged the full session rate
Therapy Session Fees
Therapy fees reflect the therapist’s professional time and clinical care provided in connection with your scheduled appointment. This includes time spent preparing for, conducting, and following up on your session.
Because therapy is a collaborative and individualized process, outcomes can vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. Our fees are therefore based on the professional time and clinical care provided, rather than a specific therapeutic outcome. For this reason, fees for completed therapy sessions are non-refundable.
Areas of Specialty & Support
Perinatal & Postpartum
Pregnancy, birth, postpartum anxiety and depression, matrescence, and the identity earthquake nobody warns you about. As a mother of two, I know this terrain from the inside.
Neurodivergent Adults
ADHD, sensory sensitivity, late diagnosis, masking and burnout. Neurodivergent-affirming care — no pathologizing, no scripts.
Somatic Trauma Work
EMDR and body-based approaches for trauma, chronic stress, and the patterns that outlived their usefulness. Gentle, structured, and grounded in current neuroscience.
Couples & Young Families
New-parent couples, mixed-neurotype and cross-cultural relationships, and families with young kids — for when the people you love most are the ones you can't stop misfiring with.
