My approach is direct, warm, and approachable, and sessions are solutions-driven. You'll always know what we're working toward, and you'll leave with something you can use.

Whether you arrive on your own or with your partner, and whether you're carrying burnout, a relationship that needs a shared language, a new or suspected Autism or ADHD identification, or simply a sense that something needs to change, you'll find space to be exactly where you are. I'll help you make sense of what's underneath and build tools that fit how you function, using evidence-based approaches matched to what you need.

Specialties

What I specialize in

Five specialty areas, each treated with a named, evidence-based protocol.

OCD · I-CBT / ERP

OCD

You know the doubt doesn't make sense, and you've learned that knowing doesn't make it stop. I-CBT targets the reasoning that creates the obsession, not just the compulsion.

OCD therapy →
Anxiety · ERP / I-CBT

Anxiety & phobias

When you've built your days around avoiding the thing, the avoiding becomes the bigger problem. ERP takes it apart step by step.

BFRBs · ComB method

BFRBs

You've promised yourself you'd stop a hundred times. "Just stop" was never the treatment. The ComB model maps what the behavior does for you and builds strategies that fit your sensory system.

  • Hair pulling (trichotillomania)
  • Skin picking (dermatillomania)
  • Nail biting
  • Cheek & lip biting
BFRB therapy →
ND adults · ACT & Solution-Focused

Neurodivergent adults

Individual therapy that works with how you're wired, not against it. Self-identified clients welcome.

Neurodivergent adults →
Couples · AANE

Neurodiverse couples

AANE-informed couples therapy built for how neurodivergent relationships actually work: translation, not blame.

How therapy works here

Structured sessions and protocols

Each specialty is treated with a named, research-backed method: I-CBT for OCD, ERP for anxiety and phobias, the ComB model for BFRBs, structured arcs for neurodivergent adults, and AANE-informed work for neurodiverse couples.

By session three you'll know your plan, its phases, and roughly how long it takes. Most individual work completes in 10 to 20 weekly sessions; couples work typically runs 6 to 12 months. As your skills take hold, you'll step down to check-ins and, when you're ready, finish.

About Sagebrush

A structured specialty practice

Sagebrush Counseling is a virtual specialty practice for adults. I treat OCD, anxiety and phobias, and body-focused repetitive behaviors with named, evidence-based protocols, and bring particular depth to neurodivergent adults and neurodiverse couples. You don't need to be neurodivergent to work with me; if you are, you won't have to translate yourself here.

Finding the right fit

Is this the right place for you?

Fit matters more than anything else in therapy. Here's an honest look at who I work best with, so you can decide before you ever reach out. And one thing worth saying up front: you don't need to be in a crisis to start counseling, and nothing is too small to bring.

We're likely a good fit if…

  • You're stuck in OCD loops (intrusive thoughts, checking, confessing, mental reviewing, or relationship doubt) and you want structured treatment, not just talking about it
  • You're working through panic, social anxiety, emetophobia, driving anxiety, misophonia, ARFID, depression, or burnout
  • You're pulling, picking, or biting and you've already learned that "just stop" doesn't work
  • You know or suspect you're Autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD, and you want a therapist who won't make you explain the basics
  • You're in a neurodiverse or mixed-neurotype relationship and want a therapist who understands both sides of it
  • You want direct feedback and a clear sense of what we're working toward
  • You're self-identified, questioning, or newly identified, no formal diagnosis needed
  • You've tried therapy before and felt misunderstood, or spent your sessions teaching your therapist about neurodivergence
  • You're brand new to therapy, or just beginning to learn about neurodivergence
  • You've been told you're "too sensitive" or should "just get over it"

I'm probably not the right fit if…

  • You're under 18, and I'd be happy to send referrals to therapists who work with teens and children
  • You're looking for medication management, which comes from a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or your primary care provider
  • You're in crisis or need a higher level of care than weekly outpatient therapy, where crisis resources are the right first step
  • You're located outside Texas, Maine, New Hampshire, or Montana, since licensing requires you to be in one of these states during sessions
  • You're looking for in-person sessions, as my practice is fully virtual

Ready when you are.

The consultation is free and short. We'll talk by phone (I'll call you at the time you schedule) and see if we're a fit. No pressure, no commitment.

Common questions

Before you reach out

Quick answers to what people ask most. For everything else, the full FAQ page has more.

Sagebrush Counseling accepts both private pay and in-network insurance with several major providers. Private pay rates are $200 for a standard 50-55 minute session, individual or couples, and $120 for a 30-minute check-in session. If you'd like to use insurance, please verify your specific benefits directly with your insurance company before scheduling, as coverage varies by plan. Full details are on the services page.
I'm in-network with Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Aetna, and Providence Health Plan in Texas, Maine, New Hampshire, and Montana. I also accept Point32 Healthcare and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine and New Hampshire, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and Ascension SmartHealth in Texas. Coverage varies by plan, and not all plans cover couples therapy, so please verify your benefits directly with your insurance company before scheduling.
Self-identified clients are welcome. A formal diagnosis can be expensive, and I don't treat it as a ticket for entry. If you recognize yourself in the way I describe this work, that's enough of a reason to reach out.
Neurodivergent-affirming therapy treats Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD as differences rather than disorders to be fixed. Whether you're formally diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here. I work to understand your unique needs (including sensory and communication preferences) and help you build a life and relationships that fit how you function, not how the world expects you to.
Your initial session is a structured intake, focused on understanding what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to work on. We'll discuss your history and current concerns, and begin developing a plan together: by session three you'll know the plan, the phases, and roughly how long the work takes. There's no pressure to have everything figured out beforehand.
No, my practice is for adults 18 and over. If you're looking for support for a child or teen, I'd be happy to send referrals to therapists who specialize in working with younger clients.
Yes, I am. Availability and session times change month to month, so reaching out is the best first step. We'll find a time that works, and if I'm at capacity when you contact me, I'm happy to send referrals.
Confidentiality is a foundation of our work together, and what you share in session is protected. There are a few limited exceptions required by law, including situations involving imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, or a valid court order. I'll review these limits clearly during your first session so you know exactly what to expect.
