Welcome to SEL Connections Lab!

I'm a middle school counselor, licensed creative art therapist, and creator of engaging SEL resources designed to help students build the skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

After nearly two decades working in schools and over 20 years in the mental health field, I've learned that students learn best when they feel connected, valued, and engaged. That's why I create low-prep, high-engagement games, activities, and lessons that help students develop social-emotional skills while having fun.

My resources focus on topics such as friendship skills, digital citizenship, growth mindset, bullying prevention, communication, conflict resolution, emotional regulation, study skills, and community building. Whether you're a counselor, SEL teacher, classroom teacher, advisory teacher, or administrator, you'll find activities designed to get students talking, thinking, laughing, and learning.

Thank you for visiting SEL Connections Lab. I hope these resources help you create meaningful connections with your students while making your job a little easier!
