Individual & Couples Therapy in Herndon, VA & Virtual Across Virginia
Serving Northern Virginia & the DC Metro Area
Your life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
Something's not working. You can't quite name it but you just know you're tired. Tired of worrying, of going through the motions, of feeling like you're on the outside of your own life.
You want to feel confident and connected. At home in your own body and your own relationships. You're just not sure how to get there.
-
You say yes when your whole body is screaming no. You replay conversations for hours, convinced you said the wrong thing. You're the reliable one, the understanding one, the one who never makes waves — but underneath, you're drowning.
The constant people-pleasing is creating distance in your relationships. Including the one with yourself.
-
Maybe it's your sexual orientation. Your gender. A growing curiosity about kink or non-monogamy.
You can't ignore it anymore. But you can't shake the fear either: What if this changes everything? What if the people I love can't handle it?
-
You want to want sex. But your body won't cooperate, or you go through the motions while your mind is somewhere else entirely — analyzing, performing, trying to do it "right."
Maybe you're accomplished and capable everywhere else in your life, but when it comes to desire and presence, all those strengths don’t help here. It actually gets in the way.
You freeze up, feel pain, or feel nothing at all. And then you blame yourself. But this isn't about trying harder. It's about how your body learned to navigate the world and experiences around you.
-
The closeness faded. Sex feels routine or just absent. One of you reaches and the other pulls back, and you're both ending up alone in the same relationship. Maybe you've tried talking about it. Maybe you've stopped trying.
You know something deeper is happening. Something about whether it feels safe to really reach for each other. And you're ready to find your way back.
Hi, I’m Meghan.
I believe you are deserving of connection, confidence, and joy. Not because you’ve earned it, but simply because you exist.
I've spent the last 10 years walking alongside people through some of their most vulnerable struggles: anxiety that won't quiet, sexual pain that feels impossible to talk about, identity questions that feel too big to carry alone.
As an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I can help you see how the patterns in one part of your life connect to all the others. The anxiety, the sexual struggles, the relationship fears — they're usually rooted in the same place.
My work goes beyond talking about what's hard. We gently go underneath it.
My practice welcomes all identities, relationship structures, and expressions of sexuality.
-
Tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, and bracing for rejection? I help you understand how your attachment history is shaping your present struggles — and build new patterns grounded in self-trust.
-
Wondering what sex and intimacy could feel like with more safety, confidence, and less pressure?
Ready to explore your sexual identity with compassionate support and without shame?
I help you reconnect to your body, reclaim pleasure, and build secure foundation for authentic sexual expression.
-
Are you and your partner(s) ready to break painful cycles, heal old wounds, and rediscover emotional and sexual intimacy together?
I help you rebuild trust, strengthen your bond, and create the secure connection you're longing for.
