You are the expert on your child....

My role is to help you understand what is getting in the way and give your family the tools to move forward.

When kids struggle with emotional regulation, executive functioning, anxiety, motivation, school challenges, or family conflict, parents often feel stuck between helping too much and not knowing how to help at all.

You don't need more guesswork....you need a roadmap

Why traditional therapy sometimes falls short.....

Many traditional approaches focus solely on changing the child, but children don't live in isolation, they live within families.

When only the child is working on change, progress can feel slow, inconsistent, or difficult to maintain. The Parallel Progress Method takes a different approach.

The Parallel Progress Method

Your child will be learning:

  • emotional regulation

  • executive functioning

  • communication

  • problem solving

  • resilience

You'll simultaneously learn:

  • family systems strategies

  • effective responses to challenging behavior

  • parent leadership skills,

  • connection building tools

  • practical frameworks for everyday situations

  • AND the availability for learning modules at your OWN PACE

Because lasting change happens when parents and children grow together.

Is This Your Family?

Your child has big reactions.

Meltdowns, shutdowns, anxiety, emotional outbursts, or constant conflict leave everyone exhausted.

You're stuck in the same pattern

Power struggles repeat. Conversations escalate. Consequences don't seem to work.

You're carrying too much.

You're researching, worrying, problem-solving, advocating, and trying your best, but still wondering if you're missing something.

You want more than symptom management.

You want stronger relationships, greater confidence, and meaningful change that lasts.

If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place

Hi, I'm Megan.

Families are navigating more complexity than ever before.

As a therapist and Family Systems Strategist, I specialize in helping parents of complex tweens and teens build healthier relationships, stronger skills, and more effective systems at home.

I don't believe therapy should leave parents sitting on the sidelines.

I work directly with children while partnering closely with parents, providing practical guidance, psychoeducation, and actionable strategies every step of the way.

My goal isn't endless therapy.

My goal is meaningful progress.

Together, we'll identify what's keeping your family stuck and create a plan that helps everyone move forward.
