More about Paula

- LMFT
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and trauma, as well as supporting those managing mood disorders and life transitions.
I specialize in addressing isolation, social anxiety, panic, and post-traumatic stress. I also work with clients exploring themes of self-love, forgiveness, guilt, shame, and attachment patterns. Whether you're facing workplace challenges, caregiver stress, or the pain of divorce and separation, I'm here to help you move through these experiences with compassion and clarity.
I bring a client-centered, affirming approach to therapy. I'm committed to creating a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those seeking a secular, progressive perspective. My goal is to support your healing and growth at your own pace, honoring your unique story and values.
I believe therapy works best when built on genuine connection, respect, and collaboration. I'm here to walk alongside you as you work toward greater peace, resilience, and authenticity in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
