LPC, 7 years of experience
Hey There! I’m Paula, a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate life’s ups and downs with more calm and confidence. I work with adults who want to improve communication, manage anxiety, build healthier relationships, and feel more grounded during life transitions. My style is warm, practical, and down-to-earth—I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation in search of solutions that will help you grow, .
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your goals, what’s been feeling hard lately, and what kind of support you’re looking for. You don’t have to have everything figured out—this is simply a space to start untangling things together. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling heard, understood, and a little more hopeful about the path ahead.
When we work together, you can expect a space where you can be real—no judgment, no pressure. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, but we’ll also look for ways to bring some relief and clarity into your life. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and capable of making meaningful changes, one step at a time.
I’m best suited for adults who are ready to make meaningful changes but may feel stuck, anxious, or unsure where to start. My clients often want to communicate better, manage stress or relationship challenges, and feel more balanced in their daily lives. I especially enjoy working with people who are self-aware and motivated for personal growth, even if they’re feeling overwhelmed or burned out right now.
