At times, it can be hard to put into words what feels off, overwhelming, or stuck. You might notice patterns that don’t quite make sense, or feel the weight of experiences that are difficult to name. For many people, these challenges are shaped not only by the present, but also by relationships, family dynamics, past experiences, and the broader systems they’ve had to navigate. Therapy can offer space to explore those layers while also supporting change in the here and now.

My approach to this work is integrative, meaning I enjoy taking and blending the strongest aspects from many different types of therapy. It is grounded in person-centered, depth-oriented, strengths-based (all the hyphens!), and existential approaches, alongside body-based and somatic practices, trauma-competent care, and creative, expressive modalities. In practice, that might look like slowing things down to notice patterns, exploring how past experiences continue to show up, paying attention to how emotions live in the body, or using creative processes when words don’t fully capture what’s there. At times, elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy are woven in as well, offering practical tools and perspectives without losing sight of the larger, more nuanced picture of your experience. My approach is shaped by a decolonial-feminist and systemic lens, recognizing that personal struggles don’t exist in isolation, but are influenced by the environments and systems people move through.

Green Sheep Therapy was inspired by the space many people find themselves in at some point in their lives - the one who doesn’t quite fit, who moves through the world a little differently, or or who has been made to carry blame, tension, or responsibility that isn’t fully theirs. Sometimes it looks like being seen as “too much” or “not enough,” and sometimes it means holding tension, blame, or quietly carrying responsibility that was never fully yours to begin with.

That place, while often painful, can also hold meaning. It can be where awareness begins: awareness of what isn’t working, and recognizing and beginning to shed patterns that no longer fit.

The “Green Sheep” speaks to the possibility that comes next. Not fitting in isn’t the end of the story: it can be the beginning of finding greener pastures. However that takes shape for you: setting boundaries, softening old patterns, or moving toward a life that feels more sustainable, more connected, and more your own.
