Megan completed Basic and Advanced levels of training in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) to treat trauma, and she also pulls from other evidence-based models like IFS and Polyvagal Theory. Megan has experience in helping people with a variety of diagnoses (anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, autism/ADHD, PTSD, substance use) and also enjoys helping people learn to make wiser choices for themselves, endure the painful aspects of life more skillfully, and grow in their self-confidence and self-acceptance. She loves to teach people concrete skills to use in their daily lives while making space in the therapy session to process anything they like. She is an LGBTQ+ ally, welcoming people of all backgrounds into her session and values creating an affirming space for her clients.
