Paige completed a pre-doctoral internship and a post-doctoral fellowship at Temple University's Tuttleman Counseling Services in Philadelphia. Paige has experience working in both outpatient and inpatient settings, and has worked with adults, adolescents, couples, and families within both individual and group therapies. Her background has primarily been within the cognitive-behavioral orientation, though she also integrates relational, psycho-dynamic, and interpersonal approaches into her work. She blends a direct and solution-focused approach while providing a comfortable space for individuals to explore their own feelings, experiences, and behaviors. Paige offers a safe and supportive place where individuals can feel understood and consider areas of change. Paige's clinical interests include eating disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, difficulty with interpersonal relationships, self-esteem concerns, substance abuse problems, and identity issues. Paige’s approach to body wellness is modeled after Intuitive Eating and she identifies as a Health at Every Size provider. She seeks to help her clients redefine their relationship with food and body. Paige maintains a practice around cultural humility, recognizing that there is no “endpoint” in cultural curiosity, awareness, learning, and action.”

Finding the right support is so important to overcoming an eating disorder and unfortunately too many people are left feeling like they are a failure when they are unable to change on their own. Making the decision to seek out support can be daunting but it is an extremely important first step towards healing. The fact that you are here shows you are ready to move forward to build on the steps that you have taken so far. I work to join with clients to help them continue to move down the path of recovery. I bring over 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of eating disorders at a partial hospital level of care to my work. I approach this with a deep knowledge base of the physical, emotional and social consequences of disordered eating which aids me in supporting clients to find lasting change. I provide a safe and supportive environment to work in collaboration with you to challenge eating disorder behavior. I strive to balance this with providing honest open reflection to help meet you where you are. I utilize the exploration of unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns meeting clients where they are at in the process of change and helping them progress.

I have specialized in treating adults with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues for over 20 years. I work with people to understand the function of their eating disorder, find healthier ways to fulfill that function, and cultivate an identity and life that is not centered on food, weight, or body size. I promote body neutrality. Self-acceptance, finding meaning, and using mindfulness are importance pieces of my work.I work with patients residing in Oregon and California.

I started Vara Nutrition with a vision of transforming the way we approach and value food, nutrition, and movement. My mission is to support you in shifting your relationship with food from contention and fear to peace and comfort. When I am not talking about food, I like to spend my free time hiking, cooking, paddle boarding, crafting, reading and hanging out with my pup, Lily Bug the Frenchton.

I have been working as a clinician for a little over a year, and am currently a registered professional counselor associate in the state of Oregon. Experience: - Outpatient and residential-level treatment of addiction and co-occurring mental health issues - Private group practice - Psychoeducational groups for addicts and their families I have familiarity with multiple therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and brief-solution-focused therapy. As a clinician, I believe in showing up authentically for my clients. I care deeply about providing clients with individualized care that is compassionate, empathetic, and reliable. I desire to make a difference in this profession through my determination to create positive change in our society. As I continue to grow as a clinician, I am hoping to have the opportunity to expand my clinical skill set by working more with those who struggle with eating disorders. I implement the HAES principles into my therapeutic style while meeting my clients wherever they may be on their healing journey. I am currently pursuing more education around this work.

My practice centers those who are queer or questioning, have experienced trauma (both single event and complex), eating disorders, body image disturbances, gender dysphoria, those who struggle with anxiety/depression, and those are trying to figure their new season of life. Therapy is a vulnerable process based upon your desires, therefore I strive for all therapeutic decisions to be done collaboratively, consent driven, and with anti-oppressive frameworks at the forefront. I believe that you have the answers within you, we just may need to do work to uncover them. I utilize a technical eclecticism approach when working with clients, which means I employ a variety of techniques such as DBT, ACT, IFS, EMDR, and harm reduction. My counseling foundation is rooted in person centered, humanistic and feminist theories. I strive to create a collaborative and autonomous environment for my clients. Being a person who has experienced trauma, oppression, and the subsequent mental health issues that can arise from these issues can create feelings of not being safe in the world. While I acknowledge that individual therapy cannot fix systemic issues, I hope that the space we create together can create at least one pocket of safety for you.

I bring my authentic self to sessions with my clients, as well as creativity, collaboration, and a bit of humor. I enjoy using a combination of art therapy and traditional talk therapies to help my clients reach a greater sense of wellness in their lives. Most of my clients are adolescents (ages 14+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or eating disorders. I work often with clients who are neurodivergent thinkers (ADHD, Autism), and/or folx who identify as members of the "rainbow" community (LGBTQIA2S+).
