I am the kind of clinician who will utilize real-life references and examples of how the interventions work, I am transparent, and nonjudgmental and will share with you the exact intent of my interventions. I have been working with children, adults couples and families throughout my career, I've been practicing for 26 years.

I have been working with children, adults couples and families throughout my career, I've been practicing for 26 years.

I tailor my interventions to clients' expressed needs and goals collaboratively as I believe the client is the expert of their own lives, and my job is to help reframe and redirect self-awareness to ones existing strengths and to build upon them.

First session

Open relaxed curious dialogue about your symptoms and goals for treatment.

Strengths

empathy relatability, humor, outside the box thinking, client-focused, strength based perspective.

Ideal clients

I am best positioned to someone who is interested in doing what is necessary for them to get out of their own way, which can often times feel uncomfortable. If you are up to the challenge you may find what you're looking for. If you are uncomfortable with the work, I will work with you until you're comfortable. I'll meet you where you are.

Treatment methods

Strength-Based

In an effort to redirect client to personal capacities in times of distress, I collaborate with client on identifying the skills they already have and help them utilize them in circumstances when they need additional self reliance and trust.

My initial encounter w/Paula was for stress, anxiety & loss (my divorced parents both suffering with dementia in their final years and my youngest sister battling a terminal illness). I worked in a hospital environment, which in itself could be very stressful but successful outcomes for patients and families balanced things for me until it didn’t. I developed high blood pressure, sleepless nights & other symptoms of stress & anxiety. Paula’s empathy & listening skills guided me thru it all.

Paula has been working with me to deal with a lot of my anxieties and self doubt, but during this process I have been going through a messy breakup. The subject of our sessions has shifted to that, and she given me a safe space to talk about my feelings on all of this, giving me feedback to help me work through some of my own feelings and consider why I might be feeling certain ways, and tried to help me sort through this difficult time in a very compassionate way. She has been such a blessing.
