Internal Family Systems
Sage Blackbird Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, CEDS
At the center of Sage Blackbird Therapy is a space for building wisdom through and healing conversation and reflection.
You have something to contribute to this world. Oftentimes, however, the society we live in tells us we need to shed those elements - do better, be better, and “have it all together.”
So often we are caught up in the hustle of what others want for us that we reach the end of the day and feel empty. Like we tried to live out the best version of ourselves and there’s a disconnect. The drive to pursue being someone you’re not can leave you feeling lonely.
And it’s the perfect storm of hiding our authentic selves.

Sarah Epstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sarah is now accepting new virtual and in-person clients for February 2023!
My clients are caregivers who feel anxious, depressed, and utterly burned-out from giving so much of themselves. They often identify as the peacemakers in their families and friend groups. Many lived through childhoods where they were the "mature" child and were expected to be low maintenance. Many of my clients struggle chronically with family relationships. Many struggle to identify and go after what they want professionally and personally. They may struggle to separate their wisehs from what is expected of them or will make them look impressive.
My clients also come in as families wanting to work through long-standing conflict and issues that keep them interacting in predictable, patterned ways.
Finally, I treat trauma and emotional distress using EMDR therapy.

Erica Brown
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
You put a lot energy into trying to please others and make sure their needs are met. You silence your own needs and find it difficult to say no or set boundaries. You find yourself overwhelmed with supporting everyone else and maybe lose your cool from time to time when you don't receive the support you need. The guilt and shame you experience from these minor (or major) blowups pushes you back into silence and you're caught in a vicious cycle. You feel invisible, alone, and disconnected from those around you. You're ready to make a change, to figure out how to use your voice, you're just not sure how or where to start. Reach out to schedule a free consultation and let me help you take the next step.
