About Megan:

Megan is a trauma therapist at EDGE Counseling Solutions serving clients across the Chicagoland area. She specializes in trauma therapy and EMDR therapy for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and the lasting impact of domestic violence and sexual assault.

As a certified EMDR therapist, Megan uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help clients process traumatic memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive. EMDR therapy is a research-supported trauma treatment that can reduce symptoms such as panic, hypervigilance, negative self-beliefs, and emotional reactivity. She integrates EMDR with Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide structured, personalized trauma counseling tailored to each client’s needs.

Megan provides individual, family, and group therapy with a trauma-informed approach focused on safety, resilience, and long-term healing. Her goal is to help clients move beyond survival mode and experience greater confidence, clarity, and emotional stability.

She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Parkside and is committed to delivering high-quality trauma counseling and EMDR therapy throughout the Chicagoland community.
