Specializing in trauma/complex trauma, family and relational conflict, anxiety, and depression, Paula creates a safe space for clients to explore their challenges and work towards healing.
Paula's therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that individuals possess the power to gain positive control and self-direction in their lives when equipped with the necessary tools. She employs an eclectic methodology, drawing from various modalities including EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy.

With a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor's in Developmental Psychology, Paula's educational background provides a solid foundation for her work.

In addition to her professional pursuits, Paula's personal background adds depth to her practice. Originally from the Bay Area, California, she now resides in Oregon with her husband and two rescue dogs.
