“Being a sex therapist is an extremely important role. My passion is working with clients who want to explore sex and sexuality, but may not know where to start.

Work Philosophy
Meagan views therapy as a collaborative process, and welcomes feedback when working together in each session, to ensure the process is beneficial. She believes that family systems play an important role in the client’s life, and in relationships. One of Meagan’s approaches to therapy is Adlerian, which is based on the premise that people are social beings to be looked at in the context of their environment. She uses a variety of strategies, which may include processing of thoughts and feelings, role play, examining family history and patterns, and homework where appropriate.
Meagan believes that all individuals have within themselves the capacity for growth, through understanding their relationships and working on themselves as a whole. Meagan’s specific areas of interest include infertility, gender exploration, kink exploration, sexual issues between partners, finding ways to talk about sex in relationships, and feeling more comfortable dealing with sexual issues.
Personal Interests
In her spare time, Meagan loves spending time with her kids and husband, as well as her fur babies. She also enjoys hanging out with friends and family, swimming, going to the beach, listening to a wide variety of music, and rarely turns down a good cup of coffee or a fantastic sushi roll.
