Welcome

Welcome! I’m so happy you’ve found your way here! My name is Megan (she/her) and I’m a Mental Health Therapist and Life Coach. While my background is in therapy, I’m excited to now offer coaching services as part of my practice. On this website you’ll find my online offerings for both therapy and coaching services.

My role as both coach and therapist is that of listener, supporter, collaborator and cheerleader to my clients. I love supporting clients 1:1 to become more present in their lives and tap into the voice of their intuition. Holistic therapy and coaching are about making space for your mind, body, and spirit and from this place you can truly shine and discover what lights you up in life! All of my work is based on a foundation of mindfulness and learning to listen to the body in order to build greater trust in oneself. At this time, all of my offerings are online and offer different levels of support. Depending on your need, either life coaching or therapy could be perfect for you!

Life Coaching: This is a short-term, goal oriented process designed specifically for you if you are ready to take action on your life goals and dreams. Goals could be related to career, creative projects, dating, a big move, lifestyle changes, self-love and MORE! A typical coaching series is six sessions over three months with the option to expand this to a longer series. Email support is provided between sessions and action steps are set in each session to keep you moving forward towards your unique life dreams and goals.

Therapy/Mental Health Coaching: This is an open-ended service that provides space for processing past and present struggles with emphasis on gaining insight and taking action in support of mental and emotional wellness. Think of it as traditional talk therapy combined with coaching techniques and goal-setting. Our work begins with an in-depth assessment of your needs and continues for as long as the you desire this level of support. Sessions typically occur weekly and last 50 minutes. I am currently licensed in both Oregon and Washington as an LMFT.

I encourage you to explore these beautiful offerings by visiting each of the individual pages where you will find additional information. Feel free to contact me with any questions or for help evaluating your current needs to see if my offerings are a good fit for you. I offer a free 30 minute consultation if you are interested in either coaching or therapy services.

About Me

I’m originally from Ohio and have been living in Oregon for about 20 years. I have a passion for dance, hiking, the outdoors, photography and cooking. I love the Pacific Northwest and am happy to call it home. I recently moved from Portland to the Oregon coast and while I miss many of the amenities of the city, I feel more connected to the natural world in my current location. I find nature incredibly calming and a way to slow down and be more present in the midst of a chaotic world. Much of my work now centers around reconnecting with and learning from the world around us.

I’ve gone to therapy on and off my entire life and decided to become a therapist because of the immense benefit I have received in my personal life. For me, therapy has been beneficial in developing a relationship with another human that validates and supports my personal growth journey towards greater authenticity and trust in myself. My personal experiences with coaching have helped me move beyond a place of maintenance to really thriving in a place of greater purpose and fulfillment. My personal growth is a journey and I still experience anxiety, shame and perfectionism at times in my life. I also experience greater peace, acceptance and joy on a daily basis. Each day is a new beginning and I continue to strive for personal growth one day at a time. Feel free to follow me on Instagram @ inspiredlife_nw to learn more about me, my life in a tiny house in the woods, and my online offerings.

BACKGROUND AND TRAINING: Shortly after moving to Oregon, I finished my undergraduate degree and continued on to receive a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Oregon. I graduated in 2007 with an M.Ed. and moved to Portland at that time to begin a job in residential treatment working with adolescents. I started my private practice for therapy in 2009 with Wise Counsel and Comfort and have worked with a range of individuals, couples and families over the years.

In the fall of 2018 I moved to the Oregon coast and transitioned my therapy practice to be exclusively online. At the same time, I began training with the Beautiful You Life Coaching Academy and became a certified life coach in April of 2019. I’m happy to now offer coaching services as part of my online offerings.
