Maternal Ecopsychology
Scholar & Educator
Nature-based support for maternal mental health in a time of climate crisis.
Choose Your Path
I introduced maternal ecopsychology: the field studying how motherhood changes our relationship with nature and how nature shapes maternal wellbeing.
Through research, developmental coaching, and public education, I help mothers and providers understand how the environment is shaping maternal mental health and how to support one another through our climate crisis.
About my WorkThe Mother Tree Method™ Framework
The Mother Tree Method™ is my approach to supporting maternal ecodistress (often called climate anxiety), guiding mothers through seven stages of reconnection with themselves as a part of—rather than apart from—the natural world. The method is hold the risks and protection this connection offers new mothers.

Mother Juniper: Lessons for Mothering in Climate Crisis
This book reveals how ecodistress—the embodied response to ecological crisis—is not separate from our connection to the Earth, but a part of it. Through the Mother Tree Method,™ mothers learn to step out of disconnection, re-root in belonging, and begin ecological recovery that is both personal and collective.
what MOTHERS are discovering
Here’s how mothers describe their recovery journeys with the Mother Tree Method™.
"The group shifted my understanding of motherhood by empowering me to honor this new stage of my life as an opportunity to reconnect with my ecological self and navigate how it is evolving."
"Through this group, I’ve realized I am not alone. So many mothers share these feelings, and being in community helped me feel part of a web of mothers instead of isolated."
"Eco-distress used to feel like weakness, but now I see it as my body responding to the Earth’s cries. That shift has made me feel connected instead of broken."
"This isn’t just about me. It’s about mothers everywhere. Healing with each other and with the Earth feels like resistance to systems that try to silence us."
