Emotional Mutual Aid Office Hours

In the midst of the federal firings, political chaos, and withdrawal of resources from conservation, climate and other life-affirming programs, I am offering “emotional mutual aid” office hours.

These include pro bono 1:1 sessions, and may also include some group offerings and workshops.

You can receive up to two pro bono 45-minute sessions. Sessions are offered in the spirit of mutual aid: I have this to give, and when you feel resourced, please pay it forward by sharing your gifts.

Possible Benefits:

  • Supporting your emotional resilience and wellbeing

  • Metabolizing, processing and discharging big emotions, shock and grief

  • Stabilizing and harmonizing your nervous system

  • Deepening inner resources for skillful responsiveness

  • Feeling more resourced

  • Learning practices that can support ongoing emotional wellbeing and nervous system health

Here are the areas where
I can be most helpful:

I combine psychological, mindfulness and trauma-/wellbeing-informed approaches, grounded in an understanding of the multiple intersecting planetary crises.

Emotional Resilience
Feeling your feelings without being flooded, and finding resilience without bypassing what you need.


Deep Listening
A space for grief, heartbreak, anger, fear, etc. to be deeply heard while reflecting back your innate wisdom, dignity and wholeness.

Parts Works
This is an effective, empowering, non-pathologizing form of healing and leadership development. I can support you in identifying, understanding and befriending your parts.


Nervous System Regulation
Grounded in trauma resilience and awareness practices, I can support settling and soothing your nervous system.


Awareness/Mindfulness
Emphasizing Presence as a healing catalyst, attuning with awake awareness.


Supportive Practices
At the end of our session I can suggest practices or resources that can continue to explore on your own.
