My goal is to create a calm and healing therapeutic environment. In this atmosphere, you are allowed to explore areas of challenges and personal growth.
Are you tired of feeling stuck? Do you want to create some changes to make your life more interesting or more suitable to who you really are? Are you tired of struggling with food, your body, your intense emotions, andor the use of substances? Are you struggling with loss, abandonment, grief, or changes in relationships? Do you wish your relationships were more satisfying? Have you tried other types of treatment that didn't seem to gel with you? Together we'll look at your life through a symbolic lens and help you to connect the dots of your psyche. We'll utilize discussion andor art-making and dream analysis to better understand relationship difficulties, patterns, and behaviors. Our work will involve fostering awareness, insight, integration, and wholeness. My areas of specialty include disordered eating, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, and addictions.

I believe every individual has their own strength and weaknesses. It is my hope to provide a safe and secure environment in which people can explore their emotions and reach their personal goals to find happiness. In my experience having safe and secure connection with the therapist allows individuals to truly work on their inner feelings and achieve progress.
As a therapist, I have a calming presence. My work with you begins from this place of inner calm, and a deep knowing that in the midst of all the pain and suffering in life all is truly well. My role as your therapist is to compassionately and non-judgmentally guide you on your quest to ease your pain and suffering, heal your wounds, and call home your lost soul parts. With understanding and acceptance, I guide you in your search to discover your own place of inner calm, and your own loving, joyous, peaceful center within where you are your authentic self. To guide you on your way I use a framework of exploration, gaining insight, and taking action.
Do you ever feel like there's an instruction book to life that everyone got but you? Does it seem like everyone else "has it all together" and you're just trying to fake your way through life? Not a good feeling, is it? Believe it or not, you're not alone, and you're not as bad as you think. You've learned ways to think and feel about yourself that made sense in the past, but they aren't working so well now. I specialize in helping my clients identify their unhelpful ways of thinking and feeling so they can choose to think and feel differently about themselves and improve their self-esteem. I also help clients to process traumatic experiences, both "big T" traumas (like combat, sexual and physical assaults, and car accidents), and "little T" traumas (like negative interactions that lead to a poor self-image). Contact me today so I can help you to understand why you shouldn't believe everything you think!
As a mindfulness-based relationship specialist, I help you build a solid foundation for you to create an exceptional relationship. Good relationships require both personal and relational growth. For this reason, I can work with you individually or partnered. I embrace a compassionate approach to help you navigate tough conversations, strengthen self-expression, and practice healthy accountability. You will learn ways to take responsibility for the health of your relationship(s), decrease personal stress, increase empathy and compassion, strengthen connection, and improve your sex life. I also enjoy working with women individually who want to better understand their evolving sexual selves, who want to learn to quiet their thoughts and trust their intuitive wisdom and live in alignment with their minds, bodies and spirit. My integrative approach allows me to play an active role in helping you heal your body, mind, and heart by offering guidance, direct feedback, and home practice exercises. My therapeutic style incorporates an eclectic blend of Eastern and Western methodologies, drawing on cutting-edge research in the field of mindfulness, relationships, and sexual health. Together, we examine how your individual thinking, relationship dynamics, family, social circumstances, and physical health all impact your relationship as a whole. My academic and educational background combines with my personal experiences practicing mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual attunement. I offer morning, daytime, and some evening appointments, both in-person and through video conferencing (telehealth). To make an appointment with me at Center for Intimate Relationships, click the links to call or email me, or contact me through my website.
**I have a limited number of in-person and telehealth sessions available. Please contact me to see if I am a good match and our schedules align.** My initial goal in therapy is to deeply understand the unique individual sitting across from me. I take a holistic approach to this task. I understand that the mind, body, spirit, and relationships are all connected and impacted by one another. I think of my clients as more than just a collection of problems and diagnoses. I want to understand your strengths and talents as well as your struggles and areas for growth. I also want to understand where you have come from and where you would like to go. As we better understand how your life story impacts your current feelings, motivations, and relationships, you will likely experience increased self-acceptance and the ability to make to make better decisions about your future. Intellectual insight alone, although useful, is often not enough to allow clients to fully make the kinds of life changes that they desire. Consequently, I also utilize methods from more action-oriented approaches to therapy that focus on obtaining new skills and practicing new behaviors. These skills are often focused on learning new ways of managing difficult feelings and improving communication and intimacy in relationships. I believe that a therapist and client should work together as a team. I will bring my energy, experience, and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. I ask you for openness, honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. My goal is to work with you to help you achieve a greater sense of happiness, peace, integrity, and satisfaction in your life.
I support individuals who feel anxious, stuck in self-doubt, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. I especially enjoy working with young adults, people new to therapy, and individuals in recovery. My style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in helping you explore your emotions, clarify your needs, and build self-trust. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a willingness to start. Whether you're navigating relationships, overthinking everything, or feeling pulled in too many directions, I’ll meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and begin practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others—with boundaries, confidence, and clarity.
I am passionate about working with childrenl having difficulties with anxiety and emotional dysregulation. I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies, relaxation techniques, and other approaches based on the needs of the individual. In my spare time, I like walking my dog and spending time with my family and friends.
If you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, especially if you’re someone who has already tried to get help with them and not made the progress you’d hoped for, it’s easy to become convinced that these emotions will always rule the day. Emotional pain is created when we forget our own power, our innate connection to the resources of the Universe. My mission is simply to help you reconnect with your own power by teaching techniques needed to master those overwhelming feelings - to shrink them, reevaluate them, and put them into your past where they belong. What would it feel like if your emotions ceased to control your life? The work we do together will give you the ability to remove the emotional charge from troublesome issues in your life. I act as a guide to your journey of self-discovery. I see myself as a mirror, and my job is to show you who you are, empowering you to make the changes you want to make. The methods that I employ are gentle, effective, and easy for clients to learn and use, and place power squarely in your hands (not in mine). I do a lot of listening in my sessions, but I’ve found that talking stuff out doesn’t get rid of it. Growing in wisdom about how to think about things and make choices can be helpful, but that comes second behind dealing with the problems at their source. I show you how to do this for yourself.
Empowering and Advocating for You Every Step of the Way: Hi, I’m Meghan McNulty. If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to turn next. First, let me say—you're not alone. Taking the step to seek therapy is an act of courage and self-care, and I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to be here. My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported as we navigate life’s challenges together. With a deep passion for healing and transformation, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique experiences and struggles. My clients come to me for guidance, clarity, and hope—seeking to build healthier relationships, find emotional balance, and rediscover the joy in their lives. I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassionate, meaningful therapy to create lasting change. My Approach to Therapy: Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “broken”—because you are not broken. It’s about uncovering the strengths already within you, learning new ways to cope, and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. Our work together will be collaborative, at your pace, and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating relationship challenges, or working through life transitions, we will create a plan that empowers you to move forward with confidence and self-compassion. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Helping process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing healthier coping strategies. Trauma-Focused Therapy (TF-CBT) – Supporting individuals in processing and healing from past trauma. Mindfulness and Meditation Practices – Encouraging presence, self-awareness, and emotional balance. Family Systems and Relationship Counseling – Strengthening relationships, communication, and emotional connection. Neurocounseling Techniques – Utilizing brain-based strategies to enhance emotional regulation and overall wellness. My extensive training and expertise in trauma and brain development allow me to offer unique insights into how our past experiences shape the way we think, feel, and engage with the world. Understanding how trauma affects the brain and body is key to healing, and together, we can create a path forward that honors both your struggles and your strengths. Areas of Focus: I have experience working with adolescents and adults facing a variety of life challenges, including: Anxiety and depression Trauma recovery and PTSD Relationship and family dynamics Severe and persistent mental illness Grief and loss LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy Parenting support and life transitions Cognitive disabilities and neurodivergent support At the core of my practice is the belief in the strength and resilience of my clients. No matter what you have been through, I truly believe in your capacity to heal, grow, and create the life you want. I am here to offer you not just tools and strategies, but genuine understanding, empathy, and encouragement every step of the way.
