I work with clients on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, neurodiversity, academic stress, and substance use.
Reaching out to a therapist for support can be hard but you are worth it. In the safe space of our work together I will provide you with a place where you will be listened to with compassion and understanding. Through our work together I will bring gentle curiosity to the areas of your life you want to explore, change, and heal. This can look like building needed skills to improve your relationships and reduce your symptoms, supporting your exploration of past experiences and beliefs impacting you today, and determining a new path forward.

During my career I have worked with hundreds of clients to address a diversity of issues ranging from diagnosed substance use and mental health disorders to the day-to-day problems that affect us all such as self-care, relationships, spirituality, sexuality, etc.
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.

Therapy can be a potent means of gaining insight into many individual/family issues. It can provide a safe/non-judgmental environment where one can speak and be heard. Life is ever changing. Therefore, when life changes our natural response is to attempt to maintain control of the situation and sometimes, we get stuck in familiar roles/behaviors that no longer fit our current situation. Therapy work consists of addressing one's thought processes, feelings and behaviors, understanding inner conflicts, finding new/healthier coping skills to deal with and alleviate stress.

Substance Use Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
