She holds a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from Samford University and a Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from LeTourneau University. She is currently completing a post-graduate certification from the Trauma Research Institute. Megan is a trauma informed therapist, who is trained in EMDR therapy, and is a TBRI® Practitioner. She specializes in trauma-informed counseling for adults with histories of complex/attachment trauma and childhood emotional neglect, as well as marriage counseling. Megan’s continuing education trainings include: Internal Family Systems and Emotion Focused Couple’s Therapy. Additionally, Megan is an Approved Supervisor and is passionate about developing trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive therapists.

Megan’s aim as a therapist is to be a safe relationship where clients can process, heal, formulate an authentic sense of self, and develop healthy relationships. In her experience, the most effective therapy is creative & client-centered, so she frequently utilizes alternative, evidence-based, interventions that target not just the “thinking” centers of the brain, but also the “emotional” centers of the brain for a holistic treatment approach. She believes that true hope and healing is possible through connection, healthy relationships, and experiential knowledge.

Megan enjoys creating resources based on her work with clients that are quick, simple, and practical for everyone. For resources, or information about supervision with Megan, visit www.practicalselfcare.co
