Sage is currently pursuing his Master of Science in Counseling degree with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at PennWest California. He received his Bachelor's in Sociology with a concentration in Social Deviance and a minor in Psychology. 

A longstanding interest in lending a helping hand has always been a part of Sage's purpose. His father is a high school teacher, teaching history, psychology, and sociology. His mother was an athletic trainer, a Registered Nurse, and a paraprofessional. Sage was a volunteer firefighter in his hometown before he moved out to Pittsburgh area for college at what once was Cal U, where he furthered his passion in social sciences. 

Sage has a deep interest in Lacanian-oriented work with some added flavors of existentialist philosophy. When not partaking in deeper work, he also remains pragmatic in transferring skills and coping mechanisms for day-to-day activities. He sees the power of healing and self-organization to be innate in everyone, some might just need a helping hand to unlock it. Sage is pursuing a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision once he graduates from his Master's program. In his future, he hopes to be able to provide services to neurodivergent communities both in counseling sessions and with research. 

In Sage's free time, he can often be found playing the guitar he built, playing the piano, or clicking away on a mouse and keyboard to the tune of various video games. That is, when he doesn't have his eyes glued to a good research article or new book.
