About Paula
Paula works collaboratively with clients to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Her approach emphasizes practical steps and emotional understanding to help clients navigate life transitions and everyday pressures.
Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Paula acknowledges and honors the effort it takes to reach out. She aims to offer clear guidance and steady support so clients feel understood and able to move toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support
Paula draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented conversation style that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change and is helpful for building momentum around personal goals. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small, achievable changes by focusing on strengths and past successes to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Paula works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to attend regularly, fit therapy around life demands, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
