About
A psychologist, researcher, teacher, and writer, my work centers on the environment. I've published multiple peer-reviewed academic articles. and have served in an editorial capacity for professional journals. My recent book, Unmoored Yet Unbroken: Ecopsychology for a Changing World (Wiley), features stories from people around the world facing climate change. My upcoming book, Growing in Places, depicts the importance of the more-than-human world for psychological health. My roots are rural, with small-town values, and I am the part-time clinical director of a start-up mental health center in Delaware County, New York. Yet the city's vibrancy pulls me forward; I live between the farm and the city. In addition to non-fiction work about the environment, I write children's tales and magical stories. Secrets and mysteries fill my short fiction.

Unmoored Yet Unbroken: Ecopsychology for a Changing World - Stories of Human Nature Relationships
My introduction to Unmoored describes a world where climate change is not inevitable. It contains international stories from places such as the Peruvian Amazon, Pakistan, Japan, Greece, Iran, China, Sudan, the ParaĆba Valley, Albania, the USA, and more. It also contains essays by Linda Buzzell, Panu Pihkala, Judith Anderson, Ranjan Datta, Karenna Gore, and Glenn Albrecht. Co-edited with Chrystal Dunker and Jean Kayira, Peter H. Kahn, Jr described the book as a "generative offering and a collective engagement with resilience as a relational process."
