Hello!

My name is Meaghan and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington.  I also have special training in Art Therapy and have taught yoga and mindful movement classes around the Seattle community for the last 10 years.   My career in counseling has focused on creative body-mind approaches to working through trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief.  I have worked in many different settings including refugee communities, eating disorder clinics, youth correctional facilities, domestic violence agencies, oncology settings, and in-patient psychiatric hospitals.  I equally enjoy working with children, teens, adults, and elders.

​

Me as Person:
I identify as a white, able-bodied, queer woman.  I welcome both she/her and they/them pronouns. Prior to my life as an art therapist, I have spent time as an art teacher, film production assistant, arts administrator, bar tender, yoga teacher, forklift driver, voice over artist, and nanny.  I come from a Norwegian-Irish working-class family full of grit and humor.  And I have numerous unfinished art projects… because I too am still a work in progress.
