Welcome

Hi, I'm Paige.

I’ve spent over a decade providing therapy to overwhelmed New Yorkers suffering from anxiety, relationship struggles, confusion around sexual identity and burnout. Over time, that work has expanded into coaching other creatives and entrepreneurs, building a community for bereaved pet parents, hosting creative workshops, and illustrating a book dedicated to my soulmate cat, Squiggles. 

In a nutshell, here’s what I do:

Therapy. I work one-on-one with New Yorkers navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, breakups, big moves, job changes, and more. If you’re feeling paralyzed by the tangled ball of chaos and worry in your mind, let’s figure it out together. Schedule a free 15-minute consult call. 

Pet Loss Support. Pet grief is disenfranchised grief – meaning the world often doesn’t recognize how painful it can be. If your pet was your soulmate, I understand, and am here to help you honor your special bond. Learn more here.

Writing. Paws & Reflect is my weekly-ish newsletter where you’ll cry, laugh, and grow through what you go through. Written for animal lovers creating a new normal after loss. Join 4000+ subscribers and get my free guide, “Self-Care After Losing Your Pet.”
