From my heart, soul, and Mind
Hey! I'm Megan.
From my heart
Welcome to your well in the wilderness. A place in the midst of the chaos of life where you can be seen, be restored, and flourish.
I am no stranger to living in the wilderness of life. I have lived seasons that felt like every turn created a new disaster or led to deeper valleys. I know the loneliness of the dark night of the soul when everything you believe and know are shaken by feelings so intense they crush you.
I also know the power of presence...when one can simply sit and be seen without judgment or fear of repercussions. To allow the pain and anger to show up and then not back down. For someone to lean in when I've done everything to push them away.
This space was created to provide faith-informed therapy where questions, fears, guilt, shame, anger, worry, and everything in between are seen as part of the healing process, not just problems to be solved.
Seeking support is an incredibly courageous step in healing. Even if we are not the right fit, I genuinely hope you continues your pursuit of healing.
From my mind
I have spent the last decade serving others through the military, community based mental health, and private practice settings. I have a Bachelor's in Behavioral Health with an emphasis on Trauma from Grand Canyon University and a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University.
I believe healing is mind, soul, and body. I have worked with a wide range of individuals from the sweet kiddos discovering the world to teens with hard, protective exteriors and soft, mushy insides. More recently, I have spent time specializing in eating disorders. This led to work with adults in all stages of life, from college students making the hard life transition into adulthood to individuals reflecting on their accomplishments and griefs of their long-lived life.
I am licensed in Montana and licensed as a telehealth therapist in Idaho.

From my soul
Therapy is for the soul and spirit as much as it is for mind and body. The intention of this space is to allow those in all different walks of their faith a place to process their wilderness seasons without fear of judgement.
Grace is overflowing at this well.
Everyone deserves the space to be seen.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to be restored.
Everyone is capable of flourishing in life.

The Heart Behind the Practice - Wells in the Wilds
I opened Wild and Well counseling from a desire to create a space for women who are caught up in the wilds of life to come sit at the well. My favorite woman in the Bible is a woman named Hagar. She was a servant, abused by her masters, cast out of her family, and lost in the wilderness by a well alone, pregnant, and hopeless. It was there she was met by God who saw her need, spoke into her need, provided for her, and spoke promises of blessing over her. Her response was to call this God “the God who sees me.” Being seen in the wilds completely changed her and her unborn son’s life.
Like Hagar in her wilderness, you deserve to be seen and heard as you cry out in grief, hopelessness, or overwhelm.
This is a faith informed space. This means if you desire, we will make space for your faith and make belief a pillar of your healing journey while integrating mental health knowledge and tools.
If you’re in the Shadows of Valley and you’re questioning everything, then this space is for you.
If you’re tossed in the Black Sea of grief with no anchor, seeking a strong tower to take refuge, this space is for you.
If you’re in the wilderness of motherhood, whether prenatal, postpartum, or parenting kids in hard seasons that leave you feeling lost and failing, this space is for you.
If you’re on the mountain top of success and achievement but there’s a pit in your stomach and tightness in your chest of how to keep going, this space is for you.
If you’re in the desert where beliefs and strength dry up with no hope of change on the horizon, this space is for you.
Come. Sit. Be seen. Be restored. Flourish.
You are worthy of healing and deserve to be deeply seen.
Faith-Informed Healing
Integrating Faith & Mental Health
Honoring Your Story
A space where your unique spiritual journey and individual life story are met with deep respect and compassion.
Integrating Prayer & Scripture
If you desire, we can incorporate prayer and biblical wisdom into our sessions as a source of strength and guidance.
Safe Space for Doubt
A non-judgmental sanctuary where you are free to bring your hardest questions, uncertainties, and spiritual doubts.
We offer faith-informed counseling as an optional part of therapy for clients who wish to integrate their spiritual or religious beliefs into their care. This may include exploring values, meaning, or practices such as prayer or reflection—always at the client’s request and direction.
Our approach is respectful, nonjudgmental, and grounded in professional ethical standards, including those of the American Counseling Association and the American Psychological Association. Clients are never required to incorporate faith into therapy, and a fully secular approach is always available.
