As a climate aware therapist, I understand the climate crisis as a global threat to all life on Earth. As the effects of the rapidly changing climate and global warming become more widespread, this crisis is weaving its way into our personal and emotional lives - it is a serious threat to our mental and physical well-being. Many people are increasingly feeling emotions such as anxiety, grief, despair, guilt, and powerlessness. As the climate crisis goes on, it will continue to impact our sense of safety, our hope for the future, and create a distrust of our institutions.  

In therapy sessions with individuals and groups, I use my training and  psychotherapeutic skills to help you identify, cope with and tolerate climate-related emotions. I am guided in this work by ecopsychology, literature and the arts, spiritual thought, indigenous ideas and wisdom, and systems thinking. I believe that there is much to unpack about our relationship to the climate crisis and that many of our responses to it are unacknowledged and unconscious. I have training from the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, and Joanna Macy’s program The Work That Reconnects. Some of my ideas and experience doing this work with clients in NYC are featured in The Guardian.
