Meghan believes that there are three main pillars of wellness: spiritual, physical and emotional, which each contribute to one’s wellness. When one is off balance, it effects the entire system. That’s why her approach is integrative and “whole”istic – she seeks to treat the whole person, providing a supportive, empathic and solution focused environment to promote happiness, balance and positive growth. She believes that the answers and wise solutions to our "problems" are within and that tremendous strength and empowerment comes with uncovering them.Counseling Services
