Hey, I'm Paula (she/her)

I’m glad you have found your way here! Everyone deserves support on this voyage of life, especially when you encounter rough waters, dense fog or harsh storms that can throw you off course such as major life transitions, relationship troubles, anxiety, loss or depression. It takes a great deal of courage and wisdom to seek out help in those moments and allow yourself some company as you navigate life's challenges.

As your therapist, I will guide you toward calmer waters, offering you safe harbor to unpack your burdens and work collaboratively to explore your goals and uncover the treasures hidden within the hardship. Working through a holistic lens, all aspects of who you are in the different spheres of your life will be welcomed and valued and will help map out the unique therapeutic journey that is right for you.

You have already taken one of the hardest steps on your journey by exploring your options for support. The treacherous seas of life can cause suffering, but they can also be a catalyst for positive change. I am here to help you find your way through the storms and the haze, steering you gently toward healing and growth.

I would be happy to meet with you to answer any questions you might have and to see if we are a good fit. Feel free to book a free 15-minute video consultation today!
