Hi, I’m Meagan—Here to Help You Navigate Change
PhD-trained Social-Personality Psychologist and Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience guiding high-performing professionals through life’s transitions.
My Journey to Helping Professionals Thrive
My path to this work started with a deep curiosity about people: how we think, feel, and relate to the world around us. After earning my PhD in Social-Personality Psychology at York University, I discovered that true change happens at the intersection of evidence-based strategies, personal insight, and a compassionate guide.
Over the years, I’ve combined this social science foundation with clinical expertise—earning my MSW from Wilfrid Laurier University and an MA in Community Psychology from the University of Toronto. Since 1996, I’ve practiced Zen Buddhism and hold certification in Zen Shiatsu, integrating Eastern mind-body principles where they’re actually useful.
