I am a clinical counselor and art therapist. I work within eclectic style to engage the client in an empathic and authentic way. I assist in helping the client find solutions that will work for them, and that they feel comfortable doing. Together, we try to heal the client and give them the tools to reduce depression centered around their past and the stress of the now and reduce anxiety of the future.
In the first session, we will work together to identify goals that are attainable and what you want to accomplish first. Sometimes, once we get started what you think is the big issue is only the symptom flaring off to hide the latent or hidden issue. We begin by unraveling each session what we learned in the last visit and how it presented itself in the time between sessions.
I am in tune with my clients. I am able to align well with the client and work at their pace to identify stressors and traumas that may be affecting their current outlook.
I work very well with people who have suffered a large grief or abuse situation and need to find joy and healing. I work very well with Narcissistic abuse victims or abusive relationships, including workplace bullying.

Had a GREAT session that provided me with so much knowledge and insight, she really took the time to explain things and make sure I understood everything. Looking forward to more!

Paula is so sweet and I feel safe sharing about my life with her and not judged. We laugh at things too I don't feel like the conversation is forced. She also will call me out on things about myself which is what I need. She is fair and I appreciate her not babying me but also giving me support and solutions to my problems.
