Paula is always on time. She listens to every detail without judgment. She is always very responsive when I have a question outside of a session. 10/10.

Paula has been an invaluable source of knowledge, validation and support. I feel emotionally/mentally stronger and better equipped to handle my anxiety and negative self-talk. Our sessions challenge my thinking in the best way and I have learned so much about myself and the way I interact with the world. I would whole heartedly recommend Paula to anyone needing mental health support.

Paula is an amazing therapist, we can't recommend her highly enough. She took the time to really understand the issues we were having and came up with a detailed plan to achieve our therapy goals. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the tools she used (worksheets, readings, etc.) were so perfect for what we needed.

Paula helped me during a very high anxiety time where I couldn’t focus and control my feels. She helped me realize I need to work through the uncomfortable feelings and wait for them to pass and stay present. The tools she taught me along with the articles, exercises and visual aids are something I use daily.
