Meghan, a therapist and trainer at CCIH since its founding, specializes in the treatment of complex trauma and dissociative disorders. She finds fulfillment working with people experiencing a wide range of presenting concerns. She works to create a safe, intimate space that fosters peoples’ abilities to explore and understand the dynamics at play in their lives, with the goal of living lives with greater peace in the present.
Meghan co-created and facilitates “Integrated Practices for Healing Trauma” level 1 and level 2 groups throughout the year. She provides consultation and supervision to organizations and clinicians looking to deepen their work as trauma-informed agencies and psychotherapists.
She draws from over 15 years of clinical practice in her treatment approach, and works from an integrative model of both relational approaches and body-centered interventions, to provide anti-oppressive, ethical trauma-informed care.
Her approach to couples work (including when one or both parties have trauma histories) prioritizes helping partners foster increased emotional safety within the relationship, and facilitating sessions to promote partners’ increased regulation in the interest of meaningful and lasting change.
Meghan completed the Level 1 Training for the Treatment of Trauma (2011) and Level II Emotional Processing, Meaning Making and Attachment Repair (2018), through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute of Boulder, CO.
She has a background in individual outpatient treatment, couples and family work, and treatment within the medical setting, including working with parents who have adopted children, and with parents during and after their children’s hospitalizations in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Meghan is a graduate of Cathedral Counseling Center’s post-graduate fellowship (2011) and a graduate of the University of Chicago, Crown School (2004) and is a lecturer in the Master’s Program at the University of Chicago.
