Hi! I’m Paige (she/her).

 

I am a licensed therapist providing individual therapy to youth and young adults (ages 10+) in Whatcom County and throughout Washington State. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in the State of Washington. I am based in Bellingham, WA and call the Pacific Northwest home. 

 

I obtained my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2023 from Northwest University in Kirkland, WA and my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 2018 from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. I have previous clinical experience working with child and adolescent survivors of abuse and trauma experiencing depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.

 

My interest in working with adolescent youth and young adult clients began within a youth ministry context and has been shaped by clinical experience working with child and adolescent survivors of child sexual abuse. I am passionate about working with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and gender/sexual identity.

 

My approach to therapy is client-centered and driven in part by my belief in the importance of the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. I provide a warm, empathetic, judgment-free space for clients to comfortably explore goals, process and discuss difficult topics, and build upon existing strengths to establish and maintain safe, happy, and fulfilling lives. I strive to infuse culturally sensitive and social justice approaches into my practice and am committed to these principles personally and professionally. I utilize ongoing education and training opportunities to enhance my clinical skills.

 

I live in Bellingham with my husband and our two dogs, Charlie and Zoey. In my free time, I enjoy reading, yoga, baking, video games, and collecting houseplants.
