Individual therapy for adults
Specializations: anxiety, pregnancy/postpartum, & life transitions
Hi, I’m Paige.
I view therapy as a collaborative process. I am here to be a listener, a guide, and a support. Sometimes that means holding space for very big feelings. Other times, it’s offering an alternative perspective or finding humor amidst the darkness.
I approach life and work with a mixture of depth and lightheartedness. Therapy does not have to feel so daunting! My goals are to reduce barriers, facilitate connection, and support your self-exploration, growth, and healing. Let’s create space to reflect together. Let’s make a plan to help you start feeling better, today.
As of 03/01/2025: Currently accepting new clients! My open slots are morning & early afternoon, as well as limited Thursday in-person availability.
“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”
— Rumi
My Approach
I have twelve years of experience supporting adults in the midst of crises, transitions, and major life changes. My therapeutic approach flows directly from my experiences with clients.
I am trained in psychodynamic (relational) therapy, which means I’ll think about you and your story in the context of the relationships you keep. Understanding your relationships (with yourself, your family, your friends, and even me!) will help us learn more about you.
I’m also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes mindfulness - being present to the here and now, even when it’s painful. ACT also encourages values-based action: how can I make decisions from a place of purpose and intention? How do I live out my values when life gets hard?
My Training & Interests
I have a Masters in Social Work from Smith College and I’m fully licensed in the state of Washington (LICSW #360940306).
In the past, I’ve worked in community mental health, primary care, and hospitals. As a social work therapist, I love to mix practical planning for immediate coping with deeper process work for lasting change.
In my free time, I’m an avid reader, hiker, cookie eater, and volleyball player.
Any other questions? Feel free to ask!
“In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.”
