about
Megan grew up in Cincinnati, OH before getting her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Miami University (OH) and Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (IN). Megan struggled with anxiety and depression since a young age and could oftentimes be found making art as a way to express herself and feel better about the world around her. With this innate love of art and experiencing its potential in supporting her mental health needs, Megan pursued a career as an art therapist to better understand the potential of the arts in supporting a variety of functions and needs.
supporting others
Megan’s professional art therapy experience includes over 5 years of:
social emotional learning for special education programs
individual and family support for neurodivergent kids and adults
individual and group art therapy for eating recovery programs
Through these professional experiences, Megan noticed a need for more affordable, accessible, and adaptable ways for people to cope better. Megan developed AFA to share therapeutic art activities, processes and insights to support the values necessary for recovery, self-healing, and maintenance.
