Education: Meghan received her BSW from Arkansas State University (2018) and her MSW concentrated in violence and injury prevention from Washington University – in St. Louis (2019).
Previous Experience: Meghan's previous experience includes working as a Youth In Need Street Outreach Worker for homeless and runaway youth, Rapid Rehousing Caseworker at the YWCA working with homelessness and survivors of IPV/SV, and Service Manager at Healing Action for 2 years.
Practicum Experiences: Meghan’s previous practicum experience includes working at the Jonesboro City Grants Department for homelessness efforts, the HUB – Jonesboro, AR's local homeless resource center, YWCA STL Sexual Assault Response Team/Crisis Intervention Team, YWCA STL Counseling Department providing CPT, and St. Louis City / County Court Watch.
Therapeutic interventions: Meghan’s therapy style includes using Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, and EMDR. I also love to incorporate different mindfulness, DBT, or CBT skills. Meghan uses a body-centered approach to treat PTSD in order to build awareness of how their nervous system may be reacting out of a trauma response.
