Hi, I'm Paige! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life. My approach centers on providing a nonjudgmental and safe space where you can feel supported. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and families navigating a wide range of mental health challenges and substance use concerns. By utilizing evidence-based tools and a trauma-informed perspective, we will explore how your past influences your present. Together, we’ll uncover patterns and develop a tailored plan to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we focus on getting to know each other. We'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve from our work together. I'll ask questions to learn about your personal history, relationships, and any patterns or behaviors you’ve noticed in your life. This helps me gain a clearer understanding of your unique experiences and how I can best support you. We’ll also take time to go over confidentiality, boundaries, and what you can expect from our sessions moving forward. Most importantly, this session is about ensuring you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered to take the first steps toward your goals. By the end, we’ll have a clearer idea of how we can work together to create a plan tailored to your needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment methods and tools tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. My approaches include EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe, empathetic, and open space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I am skilled at building strong therapeutic relationships based on trust and collaboration, which I believe is the foundation for meaningful change. My trauma-informed approach allows me to meet clients where they are, helping them explore the connections between their past experiences and current challenges in a way that feels supportive and empowering. My approach is strengths-based and solution-focused, guiding clients toward achieving their goals while celebrating their progress along the way.
