Hello there! My name is Paige, and I am a graduate counseling intern at Wholehearted Healing Collective. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology: Biotechnology with a minor in Classical Studies from Albright College and am now pursuing my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Georgian Court University.

I fundamentally believe in people’s ability to grow when they have access to a safe and supportive environment. This environment is created through meaningful connection and collaboration, in which your autonomy is honored and you are empowered to act authentically. I take an integrative narrative approach to therapy, focusing on the stories we tell ourselves and that shape us. There may not be a single, universal human experience, but I want to understand yours. Together, we can work on building gradual changes that move you closer to the version of yourself that you want to be. I incorporate techniques to help increase emotional resilience, improve insight, develop coping skills, and foster meaning-making.

I also enjoy using creative expression modalities when appropriate. I want anyone that comes in to feel comfortable, safe, and understood regardless of their background or previous experiences. While I primarily have experience working with adolescents and adults, I am open to working with any age group. I have helped those navigating depression, anxiety, grief, and other life transitions. I am eager to work with LGBTQIA+ individuals as well as those in the perinatal/ postpartum period.

When I’m out of the office, I love learning new crafts, sewing, reading, playing board games or video games with friends, working on puzzles, and exploring cafés to find the best gluten free cinnamon roll.

I am so excited to hear your story and support you in your next chapter!
