How work stress shows up in your life
Work stress often overlaps with anxiety, low mood, or ADHD, especially for adults who have spent years pushing through, masking, or holding everything together. You may feel scattered, emotionally fried, stuck in overthinking, or unsure whether the problem is your job, your nervous system, or something about you. It is not just you.
I work with adults who want more clarity, steadiness, and agency in their lives. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and practical, with room for both insight and real life strategy. We focus on understanding what is happening beneath the surface and finding ways to support you in feeling more grounded, capable, and connected to yourself.

Jessica Engle, LMFT
Megan is one of the few human beings I have come across in my life who has the skill to put me completely at ease, to create an environment in which I can safely speak about even the topics that have persistently been the most painful for me. She is able to shine a light in the darkest of places and stand at my side as we look into them together, letting me see finally that things are going to be okay.
