With over 25 years of experience as a neonatal nurse practitioner, I have dedicated my career to supporting women and families through some of their life's most challenging and vulnerable moments.
My passion for this work stems from witnessing firsthand the profound impact that unexpected pregnancy outcomes, NICU stays, postpartum depression, and the loss of a child can have on individuals, couples, and families. These experiences are often accompanied by deep trauma, grief, and a sense of isolation, and I have seen how crucial it is for those affected to receive compassionate, informed care.
At Sage & Stone Holistic Counseling, our mission is to provide compassionate and specialized support to individuals and families navigating the profound challenges of infertility, birth trauma, NICU experiences, postpartum transitions, and grief.
Hello! I'm Ally
Sage & Stone Founder
Sage & Stone Holistic Counseling is dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate care that addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our approach is rooted in the belief that true healing comes from understanding and nurturing every aspect of our client's lives.
With over 25 years of experience in neonatal care, we specialize in supporting women and families through the profound challenges of unexpected pregnancy outcomes, NICU stays, postpartum depression, and the loss of a child.
The word "holistic" in our name reflects our commitment to treating not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of distress while also considering the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, and spiritual health. We recognize that trauma and grief impact every facet of life, and our goal is to help you find balance, resilience, and peace across all areas of your well being.
about Sage & Stone Holistic Counseling
at my favorite place!
Every part of you is welcome here.
We are here to elevate your life by providing the holistic care you need to heal fully and live authentically. Whether you are seeking individual
therapy, couples, and family counseling, or support for relational trauma and postpartum challenges, we are committed to helping you achieve the elevated life you deserve.
I find deep fulfillment in helping families navigate the profound challenges that come with unexpected outcomes in pregnancy, NICU admissions, postpartum depression, or the loss of an infant. I value the power of relationships and approach my counseling work with a focus on attachment and connection, knowing that healing is not something we are meant to do alone. In times of profound uncertainty and grief, we need the support of others who can hold hope, listen with empathy, and provide unwavering support.
We believe that healing is a journey that requires a safe, supportive environment and a compassionate guide.
As a therapist, I want you to know that every emotion and experience you bring—no matter how overwhelming or difficult—is deserving of love and compassion. No part of your journey is too painful or complex to share. I invite you to bring your whole self into this space, knowing that your fully human experience, with all its challenges, is a gift to this world.
I aim to be a companion on your healing journey, offering a safe, warm, and accepting environment where your heart and story will be cared for.
