Busy healthcare workers joined today’s Whitney Museum of American Art and NYC Health + Hospitals HHArt of Medicine workshop to create!

Today, through the amazing partnership between Whitney Museum of American Art and NYC Health + Hospitals, the HHArt of Medicine team offered our 25th workshop of 2025!!

As holiday season kicks into high gear, here's a little visual reminder of our capacity as humans who stretch the limits of what is possible every single day.

Speaking of gratitude as Thanksgiving approaches, Co-Create Art Therapy is incredibly thankful to be in ongoing partnership with The Whitney Museum of American Art x NYC Health + Hospitals HHArt of Medicine program--soon entering our third year together!

Thank you Colorado Perinatal Mental Health Project for having me as your speaker in today’s PMH Lunchtime Series on an introduction into perinatal art therapy for holiday wellness.

I have always had a conflicted relationship with the Autumn Equinox and changing of the seasons. The smatterings of red, oranges, and yellows I so adore also signify that shorter, darker, and colder days are near.

Such an inspiring morning at The PSI NYC Climb meeting young families and the dedicated providers who make up their village of support.

Excited to share my latest article featured in the Inclusive Provider Directory, an amazing community of trauma-informed, feminist, social justice-minded perinatal support professionals around the country.

Whether you’re yearning for a past, lost, or future love, feeling touched out but lonely, recovering from Covid, experiencing burnout with seasonal sensory overload or #fomo, overwhelmed by the state of your household and/or the world at large, or simply just can’t take the heat…trust that this season passes like all others, support is available, and you are not alone in your struggles.

Mother Nature offers inherent wisdom around the power of community care. Trees spread nourishment through shared roots below the surface and lean together to create shaded canopies to block out intense heat during scorching summer months.

I’m honored to have my book included in the PSI bookstore of recommended reading for perinatal professionals and the communities they support.

Still glowing from Friday's incredible arts-based wellness retreat with mobile health workers via the NYC Health + Hospitals partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art called HHArt of Medicine.

It was so wonderful to be featured on the latest episode of the "Securely Attached" podcast with Dr. Sarah Bren.

Good parents can be both attuned to and easily triggered by their kids. They're correlated.

Parenting, from the start, requires a constant juggling of other's needs with your own. It is a fine art that looks messy, imperfect, and always evolving. And, like a work of art in progress, it is beautifully, uniquely, yours to create.

I am so excited to share my latest passion project with you: a participatory perinatal picture book called The Days Before I Met You.

The overhead view of artmaking in progress and scattered supplies beautifully captures the burst of creative energy that flowed through today’s wellness workshop. Busy, bright, layered, bold, playful!

With last week’s mini earthquake in NYC and the surrounding tri-state area, and today’s solar eclipse literally on the horizon, it can feel both exciting and unsettling to experience natural phenomena that are outside of our control.

Last week’s creative wellness workshops for staff at Rikers Island marked a true highlight in my 15 year career as an art therapist.

Politics is personal when your country is in crisis. Cory Booker’s historic 25 hour speech is helping to wake up disempowered Americans and remind them what they can do on a micro level to enact positive change on a macro level.
