  • I work with adults, teens, young people, and groups. This work may be especially supportive if you:

    • Feel grief, anxiety, anger, or helplessness about climate and ecological change

    • Are grieving a place, species, landscape, community, or way of life that is changing or disappearing

    • Feel overwhelmed by ecological change or uncertain about the future

    • Feel disconnected from your body, your community, or the natural world

    • Want space to explore your feelings without having to minimize them or immediately turn them into action

    • Long for a deeper sense of connection, belonging, purpose, or relationship with the living world

  • Yes! I ask that all new potential clients set up a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

  • Yes. I offer in-person sessions for people in the Madison, Wisconsin area and virtual sessions for people anywhere.

  • No. Nested kin is not therapy, and I am not a licensed therapist or mental health clinician.

    My work is a supportive, educational, and reflective practice for people navigating ecological grief, climate anxiety, uncertainty, loss, and questions of meaning and purpose. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and this work is not a substitute for psychotherapy or other clinical mental health care.

    If you are looking for mental health treatment or are experiencing symptoms that require clinical care, I encourage you to work with a licensed mental health professional.

  • Sessions may include compassionate conversation, grounding and nervous system regulation, somatic practices, guided reflection, creative expression, art-making, time in nature, and ritual.

    The work is responsive to what you are experiencing and what feels supportive to you.

  • Single Session — $120
    One 60-minute session focused on a specific concern or area of exploration.

    Three-Session Package — $300
    Three 60-minute sessions that provide more time to explore, reflect, and build supportive practices.

    If these rates pose a barrier, we can discuss a sliding-scale approach to see what might be possible.

  • Carrying feelings about ecological change that you don't have much space to explore elsewhere? Looking for a grounded way to reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world?

    Send me a message via my contact page or set up a free 15-minute virtual consultation to see if we're a good fit.
