Meryl is a full-time Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor at Flourish Wellness, where she is dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex mental health challenges and achieve lasting recovery. She also serves as a licensure supervisor for LPC candidates, guiding them in their development as professional therapists.
With expertise in borderline personality disorder (BPD), eating disorders, mood disorders, OCD, suicidal ideation, and self-harm, Meryl tailors her therapeutic approach to each client’s unique needs. For those with BPD, she emphasizes structured interventions that include emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Her goal is to equip clients with the tools necessary to manage emotional intensity and build healthier coping mechanisms.
In her work with eating disorders, Meryl integrates evidence-based approaches to address distorted beliefs around food and body image. She helps clients challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier behaviors, and cultivate psychological flexibility.
For individuals struggling with OCD, Meryl utilizes evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients confront obsessive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviors. She works collaboratively to help clients tolerate uncertainty, reframe intrusive thoughts, and regain control over their lives.
Meryl also provides support for those dealing with mood disorders, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, offering practical strategies to break distress cycles and build resilience.
