I draw from a variety of therapeutic models including Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
I am an experienced and passionate therapist located in Airdrie. I believe we all have the capacity and inner wisdom to cope with life’s challenges, but sometimes we might need guidance from a trained professional to tap into those internal resources. I specialize in supporting those who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or have difficulty managing emotions, or adapting to life transitions. I have also worked extensively to help people cope with the effects of past experiences, trauma, and stress. I use various interventions in my practice but ultimately want to tailor my approach to what will work best for you.

Taking care of our mental health is one of the most important things we can do to improve our life.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients understand their psychological process in a concrete way, as well as provide tools and actionable steps to create the change they wish to see.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy.
The genetics we are born with, including the programming we acquire from our family of origin combined with the experiences we have during the formative years (school) all contribute to the lenses we use to view ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes, these lenses are unhelpful or distorted and contribute to anxiety, depression and communication and relationship challenges. I use a neurobiological and family systems approach to help clients make sense of how they experience mental health, relationships and trauma. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (an evidence based therapy) to process traumatic events.

I am a Registered Psychologist with expertise in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based modalities, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Have you ever been told that you are being ‘too sensitive’, or ‘too much’? Do you feel overwhelmed when you try to express your emotions and end up feeling anxious about them instead? Perhaps you are struggling with negative beliefs about yourself or have overpowering emotions that have kept you suffering for a long time. What makes these concerns more difficult is feeling that close ones in your life may not understand or accept your struggles. Through striking a balance between acceptance and learning new ways to manage emotions, you will have the opportunity to live the life you value.

Not accepting new clients
I also have training in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindful self-compassion (MSC), accelerated resolution therapy (ART), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),.
I take a holistic approach to counselling and recognize the intersectional nature of people’s lives and identities. Outside of private practice, I worked in public health in an outpatient setting so I have helped support individuals of all ages, experiences, and mental health concerns. Specifically though, I love working with women, overwhelmed achievers (lawyers, educators, students, mothers, health professionals, artists, helpers, athletes, and so much more), in addition to folks who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, grief and loss, and managing emotions (such as with ADHD and BPD).

Hi! My name is Paige and I'm so glad you're here. Seeking help can be one of the most courageous steps a person can take towards healing. In therapy, I aim to create a safe space for my clients to explore their emotions, thoughts and memories while fostering a sense of empowerment and control over their healing process. My biggest priority is holding space for you as you process your emotions and build new skills. I practice from several different evidence based approaches - but most importantly, as your therapist, I want you to know that I will be there to support you with whatever your goals may be in whichever way suits you best.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Counsellors

Who is DBT for?

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.

Why do people need DBT?

The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.

What happens in DBT?

Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

How long does DBT last?

Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
