Training for a "Time Between Worlds"*
My education, un-education, and re-education is ongoing.
My training orbits these questions:
What approaches to healing will we need in 10 years, and how can we embody them today?
How might Western psychotherapy and re-wilded approaches to healing dance together?
What approaches to healing is Life asking of us?

Advocacy
I volunteer my time with organizations to whom I owe my training. I find this advocacy deepens the work I'm able to do with clients in unexpected and beautiful ways.
I currently hold the following positions with the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.
-
Executive Committee - Treasurer
-
Clinical Support Committee - Member
-
Public Facing Climate Cafe Facilitator
I also provide clinical supervision to pre-licensed psychotherapists through Elemental Psychology, PLLC.
