AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist | Individual & Relationship Therapy | Herndon, VA & Virtual Across Virginia
You deserve to feel at home in your body, your relationships, and yourself.
Therapy for relationship anxiety, sexual disconnection, and why they so rarely travel alone.
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.
For the past 10 years I've been sitting with people through the things that are hardest to say — the anxiety that won't quiet, the distance that's crept into a relationship, the parts of your sexuality or sense of self you're only beginning to name. Most people who find their way here have been holding something for a long time.
What I've come to understand is that these struggles are rarely separate. The way you shut down sexually, the way you over-function in relationships, the way you go quiet when you most want to speak — these usually trace back to the same place: how you learned to attach, to be safe, to be wanted. That's the thread I follow with every client.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I bring the training to go deep and the heart to do it gently. But what I most want you to know is that you don't have to have it figured out before you reach out.
My practice welcomes all identities, relationship structures, and expressions of sexuality.
How I can help
I specialize in therapy for lasting change.
-
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.
-
This work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidenced-based approach for lasting change in how we relate to ourselves and others.
Rather than managing symptoms, we go underneath them — into the emotional patterns and attachment histories that shape how you move through the world and toward the people you love.
How it works
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Here’s what is actually looks like.
Step 1.
Reach Out
Reach out to schedule a free 20-minute video consultation. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’re hoping for, and whether working together feels like a good fit. No pressure. No obligation.
Step 2.
First Session
A 60-minute intake where you get to share what’s been going on. We’ll talk about your goals and I’ll begin to get a sense of the deeper patterns we’ll be working with together. Most people leave this session feeling lighter just from finally saying it out loud.
Step 3.
Journey Home
Weekly or biweekly sessions, built around you and what you’re carrying. This is where real change happens — not all at once, but steadily. The kind that sticks.
You’ve been carrying this long enough
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
