This thread was helpful in finding the answer, but nobody here posted it explicitly. Here is what I came up with, but do note you may need to adjust it depending on whether all of your areas are in the same assembly.

private IEnumerable GetAllAreasRegistered()
{
    var assembly = this.GetType().Assembly;
    var areaTypes = assembly.GetTypes().Where(t => t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(AreaRegistration)));
    var areas = new List();
    foreach (var type in areaTypes)
    {
        areas.Add((AreaRegistration)Activator.CreateInstance(type));
    }
    return areas;
}
