A name rooted in resilience, clarity, and quiet strength.

Why I chose a name that grows in the hard places.

When starting my practice, I knew I didn’t want a name that felt overly clinical or generic. I wanted something grounded and reflected the work in therapy: the quiet, brave kind of growth people don’t always talk about.

That’s when I found myself coming back to sagebrush.

It’s not a delicate plant. It’s not flashy. But it’s strong — rooted deep in the earth, able to survive in dry, harsh places. It knows how to adapt, hold on, and keep growing even when the conditions aren’t ideal. And honestly? That felt like such a powerful metaphor for healing.

Because therapy isn’t about waiting until everything in your life is “just right.” It’s about showing up exactly as you are — even if things feel messy, disconnected, or heavy — and letting yourself begin again anyway.

Why It Matters

At Sagebrush Counseling, I work with many people who’ve been surviving for a long time. Maybe that’s managing relationship stress, betrayal, burnout, ADHD, or the kind of childhood stuff you’ve tucked away for years. Maybe it's a mix of all of it.

And what I truly believe — what I see all the time — is that we all have parts of us that are ready to heal. Sometimes, they need the right conditions. A safe space. A supportive relationship. A little curiosity and care.

That’s where I come in.

My job isn’t to fix you because I don’t think you’re broken.
It’s to walk with you as you start reconnecting with the parts of yourself that are still here, still holding on, still hoping for something better.

Because, like sagebrush, you don’t need perfect soil to grow.
You need space, support, and someone who sees the strength already in you — even if it’s buried deep.
