Hi there, I'm Paula!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering a collaborative, culturally responsive space in English and Portuguese. Life can feel overwhelming, and we look at what has been happening around you. Let’s connect to build a path toward meaningful growth and healing.
My focus
I partner with adolescents, adults, couples, and families wading through trauma, anxiety, life transitions, or family friction. With my multicultural background, I specialize in supporting those navigating questions of identity, systemic stress, and a sense of belonging. I welcome clients from all walks of life.
My approach
My approach is grounded in Narrative Therapy—the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem. I balance evidence-based tools like CBT and Motivational Interviewing with mindfulness. We will separate your identity from your struggles and turn deep insights into practical, everyday strategies for lasting change.
