Hihi! I got my photos back from a mini photo sesh and figured this would be a great time for a reintroduction.

I’m Lindsey, speaker, mental health professional, & trainer. Based in NJ. I refer to myself as a traveling art therapist, going to locations to support communities, businesses, and organizations. Supporting in building skills and self-awareness needed to thrive in sustainable, meaningful ways rather than simply performing or pushing through. I love bringing creativity into the room and strive for active engagement.

🗣️I am open to new speaking opportunities. Reach out.

I have a clinical practice based in NJ called Lily Counseling and Art Therapy. Be on the lookout for more CEUs specifically for Art Therapists 🌼

The scrolling has caught a hold of me. I’ve had to check myself & reevaluate some things. I wanted to share because I know I’m not the only one.

Remember: be kind to yourself, we’re human & it’s easy to get sucked in, we’re all on our own journeys.

I’m on the move to hone in on my ‘why,’ of the journey I’m on.

Curiosity. Compassion. Creativity. > Comparison. Criticism. Consumption.

Who is with me?

The journey sometimes can take a while to get where you want to go. This is something that I tend to lose my patience with. I often need to remind myself to trust the process, keep going.

Is this a reminder that you need too?

These flowers were planted unintentionally in this bucket. I threw them over here one day, & they started to bloom. They are in a 5-gallon bucket 😆 sometimes the seeds we plant unexpectedly take bloom too, and this is a clear example!

Spidey Make it Monday

Grab your paper & drawing supplies, let’s get into it. No perfection or pressure here. Playful, spooky fun.

This was a meditative spread for me I think with the repetition.

I may add some metallic because I want the lines to pop more.

Happy creating

I remember those days when my creative heart felt lost. There was pressure, stuckness, anxiety. That’s one of the reasons I talk so much about the power of art and the magic of tapping into our creativity using expressiveness.

Creating gives us a place to put what we’re feeling. It’s a way of processing, exploring, releasing, imagining, and reconnecting with ourselves.
There is something incredibly healing about giving yourself permission to play, experiment, make a mess, try something new, and create without worrying about whether it’s “good enough.” ☀️Perfectionism isn’t real☀️
When we create, we give ourselves space to slow down and listen inward. We begin to notice the parts of ourselves that may have been quiet for a while.

When I’m feeling a shift with my creative heart, I pay attention. What does it need?

What a lovely @shots4meningitis event hosted by @jaymepoursout at TopGolf. Shout out to @bethbeecreative for the one behind the camera 📷
@myhero.360 as an incredible sponsor!

Jayme & I met at university; we have a great love and passion for the arts. We both know firsthand the healing properties that art has!

This was a charity golf fundraiser supporting meningitis awareness and World Meningitis Day. This event raises funds to support prevention, survivor support, and education about bacterial meningitis. TAKE CARE OF YOU.

Art, connection, driving range fun?? Sounds good to me!

Thank you for all who joined in this strength mural

October 10 World Mental Health Day💚

I created this paint blot with colors that felt nice. The green to symbolize the ribbon for mental health awareness.

Creating can be incredibly healing. I know there was a good moment in the day when there’s some sort of art materials on my hands.

Creating art is one of my outlets that supports me. I used to create solely for outcome in the product, technique, assignments, etc. My focus in the more current years is geared towards exploration, freedom, process, & support.

Art making helps me slow down in a world that wants hurrying.
Art making helps me be gentle with myself, rather than feel the heaviness of comparisons.
Art making helps me recognize imperfections & understanding perfect isn’t real.

I love utilizing this in my professional world too due to knowing the benefits, seeing the benefits, and hearing the benefits. This is why I bring it to individuals, teams, community events, trainings, etc.

💚What is something that is supportive for you?
