When a child or teen develops OCD, anxiety, or an OCD-related concern, the effects can be devastating for the entire family. Megan prides herself on not only supporting her younger clients, but also on being able to effectively work with the family system to help parents and loved ones of children with OCD or anxiety feel confident in being able to lovingly and effectively help their child overcome anxiety. She is mindful of the difficulties and hesitation that can occur when younger individuals enter therapeutic spaces, and always strives to meet children and families where they are at, all while gently guiding them towards their goals. In addition to OCD and anxiety, Megan has a subspecialty of helping individuals manage Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) such as compulsive hair pulling or skin picking, and Tics/Tourette Syndrome. Other concerns Megan is passionate about working with include grief, emotion-regulation concerns, and identity-development.

Megan uses evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address clients’ needs. Each treatment plan is created individually to best address the client’s issues at hand. Megan aims to provide a safe space that allows children, adolescents, and their families to work through life’s challenges.
