Are you struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, OCD, trauma, or depression? I work with teens, adults, and couples who are ready for meaningful change and want compassionate, affirming support. Whether you're navigating unprocessed trauma, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or facing challenges in communication, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s holding you back and begin deep, mind-body healing.

I use evidence-based, somatic approaches such as EMDR and IFS to get to the root of current challenges. When working with couples, I focus on restoring connection by fostering emotional safety, deepening mutual understanding, and interrupting the reactive cycles that leave you feeling stuck or unseen.

As a queer therapist who specializes in supporting survivors of trauma, immigrants, and LGBTQIA+ clients, I bring a feminist, anti-oppressive, culturally responsive lens to my work. Therapy can be a powerful step toward a more fulfilling and authentic life. If you’re curious about working together, schedule a free consultation to see if we're a good fit!

Paula's gentle, nonjudgmental approach to therapy allows for clients to explore even the scariest of feelings with safe, supportive guidance.

Sarah Coker

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW

Paula asks thought-provoking questions both in her work with clients and when providing consultation to colleagues. Her deep knowledge of DBT and dedication to queer clients is incredibly apparent and she is skilled at thoughtfully navigating crises.

Marielle Tawil

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW

I recommend Paula without hesitation. Her integration of behavioral and psychodynamic approaches is sophisticated and rare, and she brings it all with warmth, care, and a sharp clinical mind. Clients leave her care more free and more themselves.
