As an occupational therapist, Megan specializes in supporting individuals as they return to work after an illness, injury, trauma, mental health concern and any other reason preventing them from resuming their lives.
She believes that everyone deserves a chance to reintegrate into their lives and work after a period of uncertainty, and she loves helping her clients achieve success through the use of occupational therapy techniques.
Megan has completed training in prolonged exposure therapy, allowing her to work with clients, often alongside a psychologist, to complete in vivo exposure therapy (otherwise known as in the community exposure therapy). This involves working with clients to visit locations which are associated or bring up distress in a gradual way to help work through trauma and increase their tolerance of being in these areas.
From an occupational therapy perspective, Megan provides education and guidance on how to best manage symptoms related to concussions and brain injuries while emphasizing a gradual return to all activities and environments.
Megan has experience completing a variety of home assessments, primarily for WCB, but also for other insurance providers. This includes the following: Home Equipment Assessments, Housekeeping and Home Maintenance Independence Assessments, Personal Care Allowance Assessments, Ergonomic Assessments, and General OT Assessments.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
