As a climate-aware psychotherapist, executive director of the Climate Emotional Resilience Institute and member of the North America Climate Psychology Alliance, I am passionate about understanding the immediate mental health impacts of climate related disasters and long term stressors of living with the reality of climate change over time.
I believe that learning emotional resiliency skills with ways of motivating effective action and creating intentional moments of reconnection with the earth and all her inhabitants, feel essential to the wellbeing of our world.
I hold a certificate in Climate Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in California, USA and offer online and in-person climate resilience courses and support groups. These include our 8 week online training Thicket and the Wild Matriarch group focussing on female leadership in climate spaces.
ABOUT Eva
I am a multilingual licensed psychotherapist in private practice, specializing in trauma and the emotional and somatic impact of overwhelming life experiences on individuals and communities. This includes experiences of interpersonal and systemic violence, identity-based harm, and the emotional toll of living in a time of ecological and social upheaval. Grief, anxiety, trauma, shame, anger, and despair are often part of these experiences, and they deserve to be met with care, curiosity, and compassion.
As a psychotherapist, I take an integrative approach that includes contemporary relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy, EMDR, neuroscience, climate-awareness, social justice and contemplative-based trauma and resiliency training. I work with adults of all genders and backgrounds, supporting people navigating trauma histories, anxiety, depression, shame, self-esteem challenges, transitions, identity exploration, relational difficulties, and climate-related emotional distress.
In my work with you, I pay close attention to how broader social and cultural contexts, including power, race, gender, socio-economic conditions, and political environments, shape individual and relational well-being. Traumatic experiences do not occur in isolation; they are embedded within social systems and lived histories. Tailoring therapy to your unique concerns, values, and socio-cultural background is central in our work together.
I have been working with young adults and adults in the mental health and education field since 2005. I graduated from the California Institute for Integral Studies with a Master’s Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology and hold a Social Work degree from Hochschule Niederrhein in Germany. I offer individual and group psychotherapy as well as clinical consultation in my office in Boulder, CO as well as online.
I speak English, Spanish and German fluently.
