Licensed to practice in Massachusetts and accepts 44 insurances. Specializes in Depression, Sexual Abuse, Trauma and PTSD
Hi, I'm Paula, I'm an L.M.H.C. in MA, I've been in the field for 3 decades. I enjoy a reputation for making people feel comfortable in session and working effectively with them to resolve their presenting problems. I work with teens as well as adults to resolve issues from the past so people can enjoy life and meet their fullest potential.
You should expect to feel that you are in capable hands after our 1st session. Increasingly, as you are more comfortable, you will control how much about yourself that you share with me. During our initial session I'll obtain whatever background history that feels safe for you to share, and I'll start formulating our plan for your success. Our initial session also gives you the opportunity to make sure you feel comfortable with me.
Having helped countless people over the past 30 years, I feel that my ability to connect with and understand clients may be 1 of my greatest strengths. I'm passionate and determined to guide you into a better place. I'll be able to see your potential and believe in you before you are able to do that for yourself.
I work best with survivors. As we start your healing process, you'll experience a positive change in other aspects of your life. With your empowered perspective and unpacking of responsibility that was never yours to carry, you'll begin to thrive.
