At the core of my work is the belief that healing begins in the context of a safe and supportive relationship. I prioritize creating a trauma informed therapeutic space - one that honors your story, centers your voices, and supports you in showing up as your full, authentic self.
I recognize that our individual experiences are shaped not only by personal history, but also by the broader systems we live within - systems that include oppression, marginalization, and inequality. I approach therapy with an awareness of how our identities and experiences within our environments intersect with mental health.

My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and systems-driven.
I work with adults navigating relationship struggles, shame, the impact of trauma, and chronic illness. Many come to therapy feeling stuck in repeating patterns, overwhelmed in their relationships, or disconnected from themselves. Others are seeking support in understanding how past experiences continue to shape their present life. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify these patterns, deepen self-understanding, and build new ways of relating to themselves and others.

I often use ACT, tarot, hypnotherapy, and attachment-based techniques to assist clients as they navigate life.
Loneliness and isolation can be as damaging to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day (Holt-Lunstad et. al, 2010). Despite this, we often find ourselves isolating, battling life’s challenges alone. The good news is, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Together, we will work to find ways to live a more full, meaningful life by utilizing holistic evidence-based approaches (ACT, DBT, CBT, clinical hypnosis, tarot psychology, etc) that are tailored to your unique needs and experiences as an individual and human who is meant to have connection.

We all long to feel a sense of belonging and connection, and positive relationships are essential in helping us live fulfilling lives. However, old wounds and different communication styles can sometimes prevent us from finding satisfaction in our current connections, leaving us feeling stuck and disillusioned. Life also has a way of pulling the rug from under our feet leaving us feeling lost, broken, and unsure of how we got to this point in our story.

You used to be able to do it all, but you just can't anymore. You're tired and lonely and sick of things being so hard. You wonder what the problem is - is it ADHD? Is it depression, or anxiety? You've been trying to do it alone, but you're beginning to think you need some help. You want to feel happy again, more connected with your family, and interested in doing the things you used to love. You sometimes wonder if changing is impossible, but you're willing to give therapy a try. I'm so glad you came across my profile. Emails and voicemails will be returned by our Care Coordinator.

Do you thrive in some areas of your life yet consistently struggle in others? Are you noticing the behaviors that once helped you survive are no longer necessary, let alone helpful? My name is Paulina and I specialize in helping people resolve inner traumas and break free from survival patterns so they can gain the confidence to create a more fulfilling life. I believe that with a little guidance and a lot of compassion, each individual has the inner capacity to heal. My style as a psychotherapist fuses mind-body modalities such as EMDR and mindfulness with a trauma-focused "inner parts" perspective.

Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in a working and trusting relationship where both client and therapist engage towards building understanding and movement. I strive to create a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your issues and increase your well-being while identifying life context that contribute to the challenges you face. We will work to apply contextual aspects, including identities, culture, and community alignments, to illuminate both challenges and potential aspects of resolution.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Do you sense that there are parts of you living behind a wall of aloneness or shame?
I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based, attachment-centered approach that unfolds a process of deep change. EFT integrates interpersonal + developmental psychology, affective neuroscience, somatic awareness, and imagination. More simply, I help people heal from the lasting—and often invisible—effects of attachment injuries, trauma, and abuse.
I specialize in working with shame, anxiety, grief, depression, chronic emotional numbness and dissociation, as well as trust and connection

I help young professionals who are dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, and relationship patterns that keep repeating. You’ve built a life that looks solid on paper: your career moving forward, responsibilities handled, and people relying on you. But internally, it’s a different story. Your mind doesn’t shut off. You overthink decisions. You replay conversations. You carry a constant pressure to get things right and a quiet fear that you’re falling behind or not enough. Relationships feel harder than they should. You might find yourself pulling away, people-pleasing, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand.

We all need to be heard, but often we are too busy to make time for this. It is easy to go on auto-pilot, tune out, respond without thinking, push through without asking for help or considering your own needs. It is easy until it is not easy, because this can only last for so long. It doesn't have to be this way. It is okay and necessary to care for your own needs.
You might be struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, parenting difficulties, relationship issues, loneliness. Whatever it is, know that your happiness is worth taking the time for yourself to address your needs.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
