about MEGAN

I'm Megan, a NY & NJ Licensed Psychologist, with a specialized focus on treating OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and couples where one or both partners have OCD. Together, we’ll embrace uncertainty and face fears head-on, helping you move beyond unrealistic standards and fear-driven decisions. My approach is all about building psychological flexibility so you can lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life despite imperfections and doubt. Rather than solely trying to eliminate anxiety, we’ll focus on learning to tolerate it and take meaningful action even when you’re feeling uneasy. This method fosters resilience and adaptability, empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and a more flexible, value-driven mindset.

my APPROACH

  • ERP stands out as the top treatment for OCD and involves gradually confronting what scares you while resisting the urge to give in to compulsions. We'll work together to craft exposures tailored to your specific triggers, helping you face them head-on. We will practice techniques designed to assist you in developing a more effective relationship with your thoughts and emotions. ERP empowers you to take back control of your life and build confidence in managing anxiety and other OCD themes, no matter how they show up.

  • ACT, considered the third wave of CBT, focuses on cultivating psychological flexibility through mindfulness, willingness, and acceptance. Act teaches us to observe our internal experiences from a distance, accept their presence, and foster a willingness to experience them without eliminating them. Together, we'll practice allowing uncomfortable thoughts and emotions to come along for the ride while you pursue what truly matters to you. This increased tolerance reduces suffering and gradually diminishes the impact of anxiety and intrusive thoughts on daily life.

  • CBT is a well-researched therapy known for its efficacy in tackling a spectrum of mental health concerns. With a focus on delivering targeted interventions, CBT provides clients with practical strategies. Through exploring the dynamic relationship between thoughts, emotions, and actions, we will identify & work through unhelpful thinking patterns keeping you stuck and practice engaging in skillful behaviors that lead to symptom reduction.

my PHILOSOPHY

If you're stuck in a relentless cycle of overthinking and overachieving, seeking balance and centeredness in your life, know that you're not alone. Living with anxiety, OCD, or a relentless self-critical voice can feel like feel like being trapped in a scary and lonely maze. As intrusive thoughts get louder and more intense and pressures mount in various aspects of life, being present and grounded in the every day can seem like an insurmountable challenge.
