Megan’s Approach
My approach to treatment is both integrative and interpersonal. These approaches incorporate evidence-based practices, such as emotion focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gottman, mindfulness and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). My therapeutic approaches focus on helping clients develop greater understanding of themselves and their emotions, explore and recognize patterns within relationships and behaviors, and learn to utilize emotional and relational insight to develop skills to take more effective action moving forward.
I am certified in integrative relationship therapy (IRT), which is a modality that focuses on integrating cut off parts of the self. By integrating separated parts, clients can reach a place of greater acceptance and fulfillment, and reduce negative thought, feeling, and relational patterns.
How can you expect me to be?
You can expect me to be genuine, warm, and non-judgmental – I can be direct at times, and I believe honesty and transparency (from each of us!) is the best practice. I like to incorporate humor when appropriate and I try to not take myself too seriously. I see us each as an expert in the room – you are an expert on you and I am the expert on the practice and science of psychology – therefore, collaboration is key for positive treatment outcomes.
