Maegan therapist sacramento ca

Hi! I’m Maegan.

I’m the type of therapist who knows sometimes life doesn’t lead where you expect it to. And that can be scary, disappointing, ironic…or even wonderful.

My clients tell me that I help them see their strengths and feel hope, even when their brains are telling them negative thoughts or memories.

I provide gender expansive therapy for adults:

I walk with people exploring their gender identity.

You might be feeling numb, scared, or tired. You’ve either come out to your partner as trans, or you’re exploring your identity and preparing to come out to people you care about. You are navigating fears, doubts, and insecurities around your relationship and your identity. You need a safe space to explore what is coming up for you, and you need a supportive outlet. You feel alone in your home; scared of losing your relationship; and worried you won’t ever feel comfortable as yourself in your skin. I’m not enough; I’m unloveable; What is wrong with me

Through therapy, you can feel supported, comfortable with yourself, and whole.  Nothing is wrong with you.  You ARE enough and you ARE lovable.

I also provide couples therapy:

I help couples reconnect, communicate and navigate conflict in a meaningful and effective manner.

You are feeling frustrated, sad, and tired.  You care for each other, but you keep missing the mark when it comes to communication.  You have a hard time reaching understanding and connection. You’re both willing to put in the work and try something different–you just want to get on the same page.

Through therapy, you can feel connected, understood, and valued.  

On a personal note…

I have a background working as a first responder and have dealt first hand with trauma and burnout. I have a passion for working with folks from the LBGTIA+ community and those working to heal old wounds.

I identify as a queer, pan-sexual female of Hawaiian/Chinese/Southern American decent. I fill my cup by gardening, getting to the trees and mountains, spending time sharing amazing food with loved ones, and loving on my fur babies (Tyrant and Layla).

I’m authentic, open, approachable, and value humor in my everyday life.
