As the Clinical Director of Wellspring Psychotherapy Center, Meredith leads a dedicated team of clinicians and staff, ensuring high-quality mental health services and overseeing the center’s operations. A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience, she also provides therapy at Wellspring for children, teens, and families. With a warm style and strength-based approach, she tailors her therapeutic interventions to meet each client’s unique needs. Utilizing evidence-based treatments such as Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she also incorporates Play Therapy techniques when working with children, recognizing the importance of creative and fun expressive modalities to facilitate healing and growth.
Passionate about supporting children and families, Meredith has extensive experience helping young clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion regulation, ADHD, ODD, and separation anxiety. She prioritizes collaboration with parents and is certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a parent coaching model designed for children ages 2 to 8. This approach empowers parents with effective tools to address challenging child behaviors such as tantrums, power struggles, impulsivity, defiance, aggression, and verbal negotiations.
Her academic background includes a BA in Psychology from the University of California, Davis, a Multiple-Subject Teaching Credential, and an MS in Counseling Psychology from Dominican University of California. Meredith began her career as an elementary school teacher and has seamlessly integrated her love for teaching and psychology into her roles as a therapist, MFT clinical supervisor, and trainer in school, college, and private practice settings.
Beyond her professional life, Meredith’s personal experiences as a mother provide her with a deep understanding of the joys and challenges of parenthood, enriching her empathic approach when working with youth and families. Her favorite daily ritual is an early morning walk with her two pups, Lady and Bear. She also finds joy in everything sun and water-related—whether swimming in a pool, diving in the ocean, or simply basking in the warmth of the sun, she embraces outdoor activities that rejuvenate her spirit and bring tranquility.
