For relational and couples work, Megan is trained in Gottman Level 1 and Emotionally Focused Therapy, which helps couples address, confront and heal the heart of what matters to them. In addition, Megan has extensive experience and training with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) aimed at treating OCD, phobias and many anxiety-related disorders. She works with clients to address specific triggers, understand the complex nature of OCD and anxiety and move away from avoidance and emotion-based behaviors that are keeping clients stuck.
