While I am a generalist, I have a particular interest in working with individuals and couples dealing with issues related to: healthy relationships, sexuality, and gender identity concerns.
I am a 'think outside of the box' generalist psychologist that strives to aid individuals in achieving their goals and an overall sense of mental wellness. I am devoted to delivering evidence-based treatments, which are well-researched treatments, demonstrated to be effective in treating specific conditions. I primarily practice cognitive-behavior therapy, which focuses on making active changes to the thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors that contribute to individual struggles. It is my goal as a professional to 'meet you where you are at' and tailor treatment to best address your needs.

The stories that we tell about ourselves and our experiences are our realities, and these realities shape how we perceive our past, current, and future experiences in our lives. Sometimes, these stories do not allow us to feel the level of happiness and fulfillment in which we desire due to problems dominating our stories. It is my goal to support individuals, families, couples, and groups in developing a sense of hope and possibility that were not previously there. This hope provides space for unique possible outcomes where these individuals can develop a story that includes happiness and life fulfillment.

Hello I'm Paige! I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Penn State in 2019, then went on to receive my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marywood University in 2021. I chose this field because I want to help my clients grow and be the best version of themselves. Everyone has different experiences so I like to use a wide range of techniques to build a treatment plan specifically for you and your needs. As counselors we learn to treat the person and not the diagnosis. Sometimes we just need to feel heard and I want to be that person for you.

Sex Therapy
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.
Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.
What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
