I integrate research-based treatments such as CBT, ACT, and IPT with mindfulness-based practices.
Hello! I provide a non-judgmental space where you have the freedom to discuss your thoughts, emotions, and other important aspects of life that cause suffering and leave you feeling disconnected and distant. My experience is that therapy, while sometimes uncomfortable, is an enjoyable experience where we focus on growth and not spend all our time spinning in circles while experiencing more pain and suffering. I believe that truly effective and holistic counseling should not only focus on reducing symptoms, but it should also help you experience more joy while living with a sense of lightness and freedom.

The best thing about being a therapist is getting to meet so many different people and walk with them through their journey, being able to help them reach their own personal goals. I really enjoy working with individuals that have a desire to make lasting changes and take back control. We can lose ourselves in the chaos that we find ourselves surrounded by, and being able help others find solitude within that chaos is what I love about this profession.

At Pause Counseling Services, the aim is just that - to give you the chance to take a pause in your day and focus on healing and meeting your needs. This is especially needed for adults with ADHD and Autism, as well as individuals facing difficult challenges and/or adversity. The demands of life often force us to ignore or suppress our struggles. This can be a place where those external demands get momentarily shut down and you can feel empowered to explore your own wants, needs, and goals. Megan approaches therapy from a biopsychosocial lens, understanding that multiple factors blend together to make us who we are.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
