Clinical consultation
Supporting emerging clinicians in navigating climate psychology,
social justice, and the relational depth of therapeutic work.
Why Clinical Consultation Matters
As therapists, we are called to meet clients in times of profound uncertainty — not only in their personal lives, but in the context of global crises that shape our collective psyche. Younger clinicians often enter the field with deep care and commitment, but may feel underprepared to address the emotional realities of the climate crisis, systemic injustice, and the way these forces intersect in the therapy room.
Clinical consultation offers a space to deepen your skills, ground your presence, and expand your theoretical and practical understanding — so you can meet your clients with confidence, compassion, and clarity.
My approach
I bring a contemplative, relational, and psychoanalytic orientation to consultation — valuing curiosity, presence, and the complexity of the therapeutic relationship. This means we work together to notice the subtle dynamics in the room, the countertransference that arises, and the ways our own histories, identities, and values inform the work.
My approach is also rooted in social justice counseling — holding awareness of how systemic inequities, oppression, and cultural narratives shape both therapist and client. Consultation is not just about technique, but about cultivating the self-awareness and critical consciousness necessary for ethical, liberatory practice.
And central to my work is climate psychology — a field that explores the emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions of the climate crisis. In consultation, we explore how ecological grief, anxiety, moral injury, and systemic denial show up in clients (and in us), and how to work with these experiences in ways that foster resilience, meaning, and action.

Climate Psychology for Clinicians
A quick guide for integrating ecological realities into your therapeutic work
Definition
Climate psychology explores how the climate crisis and ecological loss affect mental health, relationships, and culture — and how we can respond with resilience and care.
Why It Matters in Therapy
Many clients experience climate-related distress (anxiety, grief, anger, hopelessness) — sometimes without naming it.
Ecological realities intersect with social justice issues like displacement, inequality, and environmental racism.
Denial, avoidance, or numbness are often psychological defenses worth understanding in the clinical space.
Core Skills for Therapists
Identify climate-related themes, even when they appear indirectly.
Hold space for ecological grief and anxiety without pathologizing it.
Address intersectionality — how climate issues impact different communities differently.
Support values-based action that is sustainable for the client’s nervous system and context.
Why Consult on This
By engaging with climate psychology, you’ll expand your therapeutic lens, meet your clients where they truly are, and contribute to the larger cultural shift toward climate awareness and collective care.
