Hi there, I’m Sage, and yes it’s my real name! Many clients start therapy because they are seeking change, struggling with areas in their lives such as relationships and work, or simply need support and a space to be heard. My main focus is about helping you explore the relationship between acceptance and change in your own life or relationship within the safe context of therapy. We will work together to address your needs and reach your goals, but also talk about the bigger picture, or just vent if that’s what you need that day. I like to think of therapy as a choose-your-own-adventure experience that is driven by the client.

If you're feeling emotionally vulnerable, stuck, anxious, experiencing the challenges of a faith transition or being ‘othered’ in any way, I welcome the opportunity to work together to find the relief you're seeking.

I can be supportive in creating a safe and brave space for you to be at ease with being your authentic self and work towards accomplishing your mental health goals!

I have been in practice for over 35 years. I weave my Psychotherapy to suit the person that I am working with. Trained in numerous modalities, I respect and work with the psycho-socio-biological and spiritual parts of the person. Developing the therapeutic relationship and cultivating trust are primary in my work with my clients. Intuition, Perceptiveness and Energy Fields guide me as well. My strong interest with Trauma Work comes from my belief that we all have been traumatized in different ways.

We use to have hard times whenever faced by difficulties that challenge our ego. Most of the time, we tend to avoid coping with these challenges, or we do deal with them in destructive ways, mainly because of not having learned more assertive functional ways to take care of ourselves, relationships and circumstances in life. My approach is focused on promoting your insight about why you think, feel and react the ways you do, supporting you to take advantage of your own potentials, improve skills and guiding you on taking good care of your core needs and expectations.
