Welcome to my therapy practice. My name is Paula, and I want you to know that I’m here to support you on your journey through life's challenges. As a licensed mental health therapist, my passion lies in helping individuals navigate their personal struggles, whether they involve significant mental health issues, relationship difficulties, or the complexities of recovery from addiction for both individuals and their loved ones. I also understand how overwhelming it can be to seek clarity in finding life direction and managing stress, and I'm here to help with that too.
I draw upon various methods in therapy, including Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which can help address unhelpful thought patterns and emotional challenges. I use Motivational Interviewing empowering you to discover your strengths and motivation for change. I also use Brainspotting and unique trauma interventions to process unresolved trauma.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and strength based. In our sessions, you will find a warm and compassionate atmosphere where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I believe that fostering a safe and trusting relationship is crucial, and I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely heard and accepted.

I worked with Paula for years and had daily chances to observe her as a human and therapist. She is amazing at both. She has an ability to sense and bring to the surface areas of difficulty in a persons life. I'd give her 5 stars if that was an option.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice to address negative thinking patterns and cognitive distortions. This is important because we have to change our maladaptive thinking patterns to begin establishing long-term change. I will help you examine how your thoughts lead to feelings, as well as behavior, and how to reframe your thoughts to help you create the desired changes in your life.
