“Transition...is a process of letting go of the way things used to be and taking hold of the way they subsequently become.”
My Practice
Blue Sage Transitions Therapy emerged from Connie North’s desire to serve individuals, partners, and families in Boulder County. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I use a systems approach, meaning I look at how we shape and are shaped by our relationships, identities, and the contexts in which we work and live. At the heart of my work is the belief that we know what we need and desire. We often benefit from support with uncovering exactly what those needs and yearnings are and how to meet them. I aspire to listen to and understand you with compassionate curiosity so as to help you live your life to the fullest.
“This collaboration with the earth should be done with care.
Even gardens, it seems, can set off explosions, and so
I'll have blue salvia and blue ageratum next year,
pale petunias, more poems, and some plumbago.”
— MONA Van Nuyn
Why Blue Sage?
Observing the blue sage (also known as blue salvia) in gardens, I have noticed how several of its characteristics relate to the human experience. Although blue sage can weather a drought, it thrives in direct sunlight. Blue sage also attracts pollinators, revealing its interdependence with the environment and other local inhabitants. It has medicinal properties, such as helping to reduce human fevers, and simultaneously repels its predators, like deer. In other words, it can help others while safeguarding its own well-being.
