About Me

Hi! I’m Megan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering mental health counseling both virtually and in-person in Oklahoma, and virtually in Vermont. I’m the owner of Gift of Grit Counseling, a proud Oklahoman, a wife, and a mom to one child earthside and four souls in Heaven. I love memes, dark humor, and a good romance novel that doesn’t make me think too hard.

Education & Experience

I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, and grief, particularly parents who are mourning the death of their child. I've personally experienced miscarriage and infant loss, and while I may not understand everything you're going through, I can definitely say that I 'see' you and I hear you. Having walked through those painful times, I know the depth of those waters and I’m here to help you navigate them, too. ​ I also love working with highly sensitive people and late diagnosed neurodivergent women. (Hello, hi, I'm an ADHDer and HSP myself).​​ I am well-versed in working with individuals who have experienced significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications or bariatric surgery. There's no shame here, only healing and processing what is still holding you down, now that you've shed the weight. I obtained my MSW in 2016, and have been practicing clinically for 9 years. I am a board approved supervisor for clinical social work candidates in Oklahoma as well. I worked on a crisis line for 3 years, so I am also comfortable and well-versed in suicidal and homicidal ideation.
