About Megan

Hi, I’m Megan. I am a practicum student completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, and I will begin seeing clients at Solasta in January 2027.

Before pursuing counselling psychology, I spent several years working in nutrition consulting, supporting clients through behaviour change, emotional wellness, chronic health concerns and life transitions. That work taught me that meaningful change is built on trust, curiosity and authentic human connection. It also helped me see that many of the challenges my clients faced went beyond nutrition, which inspired me to pursue graduate training so I could better support their psychological well-being.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress and burnout, emotional eating and challenges with their relationship with food, major life and career transitions, and the emotional demands of parenting, relationships and women’s mental health.

My approach is client-centred and collaborative. I draw on CBT- and ACT-informed approaches, and I value creating a psychologically safe space where you can explore what’s going on, set goals that matter to you, and move forward at your own pace.

If you would like to work with me, you can join my waitlist below and our admin team will be in touch when my booking opens.
