Does my teabag know what today is? Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I thought I'd share one of my favorite November group activities. Start with a tree with bare branches, and each person writes what they are grateful for on leaves to attach to the tree. Sometimes we may not feel we have enough or are enough. Together we can find tangible ways to remember all we have to be thankful for.

Another FAQ answered! No prior art experience is needed to benefit from my therapeutic art workshops, and self-care is for EVERYONE! Have more questions about setting up a workshop for your group? Reach out and let's see what we can create together! More info can also be found at getcreativewellness.com

I get asked this question a lot! I am an art therapist who also facilitates non-clinical therapeutic art workshops. When you book a workshop for your group with me, you are not signing everyone up for therapy (even if you think everyone could use it 😂)! Curious to learn more? getcreativewellness.com

I always forget how satisfying it is to light a freshly carved jack-o-lantern. Sometimes the prep and cleanup might hold us back from really digging into a creative project, but in my experience, the mess is always worth it. Happy and safe Halloween!

Happy Friday! I led a workshop for mental health providers focused on using collage as self-care. I love to walk my talk by participating too! Here's my response to our prompt: "Take time to do what makes your soul happy."

The kinder we are to ourselves, the easier it is to spread kindness to others. Self-care is not selfish. Do something that makes you feel good. Start small. I'm having comforting soup for lunch. What small act of kindness can you show yourself today?

Really loving the fall colors finally arriving! 🍁🍂🍃

I made this little pumpkin friend with an art therapy group a few years ago and it used to sit on my desk keeping me company. I gifted it to a client when we parted ways but it's nice seeing it pop up in my feed this time of year!

It's - sometimes life feels overwhelming and sometimes we're riding the wave. Finding self-care activities that help us cope, feel energized, and relax is so important to get us through the ups and downs. Let's make self-care a necessity, not a luxury.

What's your pumpkin preference: painting or carving?

Decorating pumpkins is one of my favorite fall activities that gets the whole family involved. Spending time making art with the people I love checks some big self-care boxes for me!

BIG NEWS coming soon! It's been a while and I'm so excited to share what I've been up to... Stay tuned!
