I’m glad you found my page! My name is Sage (they/them). Have you ever felt outcast from those around you, or less than others based on the intersectionality of your identities and how you present yourself?

As a non-binary, pan, ace, neurodivergent and disabled therapist, I have lived experience with where you are right now. When you come to see me, you will be met with non-judgment, empathy, connection, and compassion. You are always welcome to come as you are. Outside the therapy room I love nature, dance, and fostering animals!

I joined Rooted Relational Therapy in 2021, with 30 years of experience doing outpatient and in-home therapy. Providing in-home services and crisis intervention really honed my ability to think on my feet! My work in local county mental health services provided me with a vast knowledge of local resources. I earned both my degrees in Psychology, first a Bachelor of Arts from Penn State and then a Master of Arts in Psychology from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In my professional work, I take a strength-based, trauma-informed approach, that is sensitive to cultural diversity and attachment injuries.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years and am passionate about joining my clients on their journey of discovering themselves and arriving at a more empowered place during our leg of their life's journey. As an EMDR therapist, as well as a certified yoga teacher, I work with my clients to integrate body, mind and spirit as we work together toward their feeling healthy and whole.

Struggling with your self esteem? Feeling like you are never good enough? Focusing on what others need and want than what you need and want? Experiencing anxiety and overthinking? Feeling body tension? Having a hard time saying no? Being highly critical of yourself and having a need to be perfect? Finding that relationships are very hard and never turn out the way you want them to? All of these things have a root cause and point to our unfinished business. I can help you see and understand the root cause and see your self from a different place. Direct Inquires Only No Third Parties Please.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for my clients’ self-discovery and healing. I support my clients as they build on their intrinsic skills and strengths so that they can navigate through difficult periods and life transitions in ways that foster growth and well-being. I believe that the strongest therapeutic relationships are built from trust, respect, transparency, empathy and equality. I counsel from a place of kindness, understanding and compassion through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens.

Hello! I can be a support as you start your journey towards insight and well being. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming at times. It's not unusual for everyone, at one point or another, to experience up and downs throughout life. Deciding to look into options for counseling is a big step towards taking care of you and building an understanding of mental health concerns and strategies to improve how you feel. I have experience working with clients of all ages with concerns such as: life stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, divorce, and relationship conflicts.

Are you feeling sad, hopeless, anxious, overwhelmed, out of control, or confused? Do you have problems in your relationship, or feel disconnected from others or the world as a whole?

Everyone can benefit from some support from time to time. I am here to help!

Telehealth therapy only but immediate openings- My ideal clients are couples ages 25-60 years of age that are having relationship issues and feel stuck in the negative interactions over and over. I am of the belief my primary role is to help you improve your responses to each other without breaking your core values and or deeply held principles. Your job is to create your own individual goals for being in therapy.  MY job is to help you reach them. I have many tools to help you become a more effective partner – they work best when you are clear about how you desire to be in your relationship.

Life is difficult and as human beings we all struggle. I like to see life as a journey and imagine us all as fellow travelers. If you feel internal distress, resentments, or angst or are having trouble with the relationship with yourself or others I would love to work with you on your journey to peace and wellness.

Healing, personal growth and ultimately flourishing, takes effort. We may find ourselves fighting against not only the outside world but sometimes ourselves. And if you are reading this far, then I want you to celebrate…here and now. Offer yourself gratitude. While we may aspire for worldly success in our relationships, work, or daily routines, attempting to do so without knowing ourselves deeply, healing personal and generational wounds, and feeling empowered, we fall short. That's why with clients of varying, intersecting identities and unique concerns, I prioritize personal/systemic insight, authenticity, and acceptance.

Are you perceiving your sensitivity as a detriment in your life? Have your uniqueness and neurodivergence been used against you? I am here to help you make that shift and remove each layer of fear that has been planted in you and has led to chaos and lack of acceptance. Evidence-based practice modalities along with holistic approaches can help you regulate your nervous system, learn more about your emotions and manage depressive symptoms to find the opportunities to grow in the process.

Are you struggling with the crush of anxiety and overwhelm? Feeling stuck or directionless? Navigating the tides of loss or a big life change? Craving more peace and ease? I get it. In these challenging times it’s easy to become disconnected from our authentic selves—from purpose, from contentment & joy. Instead, anxiety and stress become constant companions, overpowering everything else. I’m here to support you, and to help you find your way back home to yourself. Together we can explore the big questions of purpose and connection along with practical strategies for current challenges & finding more ease and contentment every day.

Your Story Matters and So Do You! Each of us tell ourselves a story about who we are, what we believe, and where we come from. Understanding our story releases the capacity to influence it in creative and valuable ways. Using complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will explore cognitive perceptions and behavioral strategies to help promote resiliency, balance, and emotional prosperity. Focusing on your unique strengths, the goal is to move through any challenging situation you may be facing right now and tap into your true potential allowing you to enjoy a more fulfilling and meaningful life experience.
