A Supportive Space for When Life Feels Heavy, Uncertain, or Overwhelming
Helping individuals, couples and families move through difficult seasons with care

You're Not Alone.
You're Not Alone.
Whether this is about you, your child, or your family, many people come to therapy feeling this way:
Things feel heavy, uncertain, or harder than they “should” be
You’ve been holding a lot for a long time - sometimes quietly
It’s difficult to explain what’s going on, even to yourself
Patterns keep repeating, even when you want something different
You’re trying to cope, but something still doesn’t feel right
You want things to feel more manageable, but aren’t sure where to begin
Approach to Therapy
Approach to Therapy
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. Therapy can offer space to explore those layers while also supporting change in the here and now.
My approach is:
Centered on you – as a person-centered clinician, I meet you where you are, moving at a pace that feels manageable and with care shaped around what matters most to you
Flexible and integrative – I draw from a range of modalities - including depth-oriented, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches - so that our work can adapt to you, rather than expecting you to fit into a single model
Grounded in your strengths – alongside the hard parts, we’ll also pay attention to what’s already supporting you, drawing from a strengths-based perspective
Context-aware – I hold in mind how relationships, family dynamics, culture, and larger systems impact your experience. This is shaped by a feminist, power-conscious, and liberatory lens
Trauma-competent – grounded in trauma-specific approaches, training, and experience, with attention to regulation, consent, and working safely with acute, complex (CPTSD), and developmental trauma
Curious about deeper patterns – our work may include exploring how past experiences, attachment patterns, and unconscious beliefs continue to show up in the present, drawing from depth-oriented, Jungian, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, and relational approaches
Open to big questions – there’s room here for exploring identity, meaning, freedom, and uncertainty, informed in part by existential therapy
Attuned to the body – we can slow down to notice how emotions live physically, incorporating somatic and body-based practices when helpful
Open to creative expression – when words feel limiting, we can use art and other forms of expression as part of the process, drawing from expressive and creative therapies including art therapy
Also practical when needed – at times, I’ll bring in concrete tools and strategies (including elements of CBT, ACT, DBT, and solution-focused therapies) to support insight with day-to-day change

Finding Your Way to Greener Pastures
Finding Your Way to Greener Pastures
Green Sheep Therapy was inspired by a place many people find themselves at some point in their lives - the one who doesn’t quite fit, who moves through the world a little differently, or who has been made to carry blame, tension, or responsibility that isn’t fully theirs.
Sometimes it looks like being seen by others as “too much” or “not enough" - or it can look like a deep internal worry that these words might actually accurately describe us. Have you ever found yourself wondering,"what if I'm too much?" or "maybe I don't measure up?" or even, "oh no, what if it's both!?"
Other times it can be quieter than that - holding what others couldn’t hold, saying yes when we really mean no, or adapting in ways that were necessary then but don’t quite fit now.
That place, while often painful, can also hold meaning and possibility. It can be where awareness begins: noticing what isn’t working, and beginning to loosen patterns that no longer feel like your own.
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: setting boundaries, softening old roles, learning new skills, or moving toward a way of living that feels more sustainable, more connected, and more your own.
