About

Hi! I’m Paige.

I’m a therapist, creative, and real human being living in Brooklyn, NY. My goal is to help you feel more whole, accepting, and free.

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 building a community for bereaved pet parents, hosting creative workshops, and illustrating a book dedicated to my soulmate cat, Squiggles.

I LOVE my work as a therapist. And I’ve stopped trying to fit myself into a box. If that idea resonates, you’ve found yourself in the right place.

Who I work with

Therapy in New York

“It sounds a bit silly now that I say it out loud…”

I’ve heard it hundreds of times, because fears feel much bigger in your head than in reality. I work with panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worry, phobias, and generalized anxiety — and am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, always.

Support for Pet loss & grief

Losing a pet can feel like losing a part of yourself. Whether your loss is recent, anticipated, or years in the past, you deserve support that honors your bond and validates your grief.

I help bereaved pet parents feel less alone as they grieve — and learn to live fully again in their pets honor.
