Hi, I’m Megan!
I work to establish a healthy relationship that ensures trust, safety, and the acceptance to be just who you are. I like to weave in bits of information pertaining to brain science and the nervous system to normalize the human experience and provide comfort in connection.
When I am not working, I enjoy exploring new places in and out of Cincinnati. You can often find me at a park with my husband walking our energetic goldendoodle, Milo. I enjoy hiking, cycling, and eating my favorite food, pizza.
