Hi! I’m Megan--Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Franklin Therapy. 

I work with adults who are often juggling a lot--managing anxiety, burnout, C-PTSD, emotional eating, and major life transitions--all while trying to hold it together on the outside. My clients tend to be high achieving, thoughtful, and often overwhelmed. 

My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in real conversation. I show up as a human first, therapist second--and I value connection, humor, and clarity in our work together. I believe that strong therapeutic rapport is at the heart of meaningful therapy, and I prioritize building trust and a genuine connection from the start. Whether we meet virtually or along the coast at Salt Creek Beach, therapy with me is a place to get out of your head and focus on what matters most. 

With over a decade of experience in healthcare and clinical training from Stanford Health Care, I use evidenced based approaches like CBT, DBT skills, ACT, and intertwine bibliotherapy. I specialize in working with professionals in high-pressure roles--healthcare providers, those in tech, higher education, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and others who are used to putting everyone else first and are ready to make time for themselves. If you're feeling stuck, worn down, or unsure where to start, you're in the right place.
