Hi, I’m Paola, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges. I entered the field of mental health out of a deep desire to serve and advocate for underserved populations, recognizing how access, understanding, and compassion can make a real difference in people’s lives. I’m very passionate about helping others and believe in meeting clients where they are on their unique journey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that treatment is not one-size-fits-all—it should be tailored to each person’s individual needs, strengths, and goals. In my work, I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care to help clients manage stress, heal from difficult experiences, and develop practical coping tools. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can find clarity, growth, and lasting change.
