Facilitator - Educator - Guide
I create and facilitate experiences that help people meet the emotional realities of our changing world with greater resilience, connection, and care.
My work brings together climate mental health, emotional resilience, ecological grief, parenting support, and nature-based practice. I teach concrete, research-informed tools while also creating spaces for deeper reflection and connection—because we need more than information to navigate these times.
I work with a wide range of groups, including students, educators, scientists, climate professionals, activists, parents, and organizations. Through workshops, courses, talks, support groups, and immersive nature-based retreats, I help people build the capacity to stay present with what is difficult while also nourishing what sustains them.
At the heart of my work is a belief that we don't have to carry the emotional weight of these times alone. When we have space to acknowledge what we feel, connect with one another, and remember what we love, we are better able to participate in our lives, our communities, and the work of caring for the world.
