Hi there, I'm Paula!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lonely or uncertain? Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply show up for yourself. I provide a calm, safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships and life choices. My goal is to help you find clarity and hope, so you can reconnect with who you truly are.

My focus

Whether you're a teenager trying to find your authentic voice or an adult feeling stuck in long-standing patterns that no longer serve you, my goal is to help you know your true self. Many of our beliefs about life are learned; I want to help you unlearn the patterns that keep you stuck, so you can build lasting self-esteem and self-acceptance.

My approach

My approach combines compassion and collaboration with proven therapeutic techniques to help change the ways in which past experiences show up in the present. Whether it's chronic anxiety, depression, or loneliness, my role is to help you break through painful patterns, so you can understand yourself better and create lasting, positive changes.
