Meridith (she,her) a clinical intern in the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Regis University, graduating in May 2026.

Meridith’s approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, where we explore how early relational patterns and unconscious processes shape your current emotions, relationships, and sense of self while also supporting you in reconnecting with your body as a source of strength and healing. Her style is trauma-informed and collaborative, offering a safe, grounding space where you set the pace and feel held in exploring even the most vulnerable parts of your story. She honors the resilience that has carried you through difficult experiences while recognizing the impact of stress, loss, and adversity on your nervous system.

Years of personal experience have led her to focus on perinatal mental health, walking alongside individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and loss with compassion and respect for the complexity of these seasons. No matter what brings you to therapy, her hope is to help you feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and your sense of meaning, so that you can move forward with greater freedom, resilience, and authenticity.
