Hi there, I'm Paula! Join me in a calming space where you can go deep and resolve emotional distress, old or new, that has been holding you back from creating and living the life you truly desire. Together, we’ll get to the root of patterns that cause suffering and work through life’s challenges so that you have clarify, confidence, and calm within. My focus Are you struggling with unwanted emotions and beliefs causing you to feel unfulfilled or anxious? Struggling to regulate your emotions after a traumatic event, a break-up, or problems in your current relationship? You may not have the best support or the skills you need to get through this alone. I'm here to guide and hold reassuring space for you. My approach Using trauma informed approaches proven to be effective, I specialize in helping you get to the root of patterns that cause suffering and remove what's keeping you stuck, draining your life of energy and peace. Through our work together, my goal is for you to feel grounded and gain the ability to respond to challenging situations with confidence. My communication style I have a warm, relaxed, yet focused approach in helping you cultivate all you need to have a smoother balance between your thoughts and emotions. Your feedback will always be welcome and you can openly communicate your needs or any adjustments needed in order to get the most out of your Therapy experience. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up, the dynamics within my home life were challenging and created a template of belief that life would be hard and I had no control. Through biblical principles, higher education, and my own healing process, I learned to create the life I want instead of following what society said life would be like for me based on my beginnings. My goals for you Exploring and identifying mental health goals with specific details gives a vivid picture of where you are starting and where you want to end up as a result of this therapy experience.
