Healing is messy, and it’s also beautiful! You may feel stuck in a cycle that’s painful and no longer serves you, or you have a desire to look further inward. No matter the reason that brought you, I am glad you are here. It is 100% okay to ask for help, no matter what people have told you. Challenges are inevitable in life and are often a cue to action. When challenges go unresolved or unaddressed, they may get in the way of how you feel about yourself. The good news is there are many things you can learn and unlearn about yourself and the world you live in. I will support you through that learning and healing process.

My name is Paula, and my ideal client may be a veteran struggling with PTSD, or a person battling substance use disorder. They seek understanding, support, and effective coping strategies. Their goal is to reclaim their life, find inner peace, and build healthy relationships. They desire healing from past traumas, relief from symptoms, and a sense of purpose. With empathy and firsthand understanding, I provide a safe space for their journey towards healing and growth.

Change is a process and not an event. Whether you interested in establishing a new relationship to substances, addressing relapse, or have been sober for a while and want to work on underlying issues, I welcome you. I believe that most often substance use is a symptom of underlying issues and people turn to unhealthy behaviors to manage. If these issues are not addressed a person will relapse. I specialize in co-occurring disorders including Trauma, Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, and Anxiety. I have over twenty five years of personal and professional experience in addiction recovery.

I am a substance abuse counselor who works with those who use substances (e.g. drugs and alcohol) as well as those who use other addictive behaviors (e.g. gambling, sex, internet, self-harm, etc.) to cope with their anxiety, depression, and past trauma. I have experience working with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorders, and personality disorders along with substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors. I give strength to my clients by helping them to learn about their addiction, their emotions, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to use them to begin recovery and have long term sobriety.

My ideal client seeks understanding and support in navigating complex emotions and experiences. They may grapple with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use, longing for relief and growth. They crave a safe space to express themselves authentically, free from judgment. Their goal is to cultivate resilience, reclaim joy, and forge a path towards inner peace and fulfillment. With personalized therapy rooted in compassion and evidence-based modalities, they strive to uncover their inherent strengths and rediscover hope on their journey towards healing.

As a therapist, I work to create an environment where my clients feel heard, accepted, and understood. I have a friendly demeanor and have always enjoyed helping people. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship, through empathy, compassion, and mutual trust is key to helping individuals feel safe in order to work through sensitive issues. My aim is to work together with my clients to explore areas they want to address and then together develop a plan to improve their lives.

I work with individuals, specializing in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. I have enjoyed working with clients of especially vulnerable populations such as those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (including ASD), those who identify as LGBTQ+, those with histories of trauma, and other minoritized populations. Additionally, I provide individualized clinical supervision to associate-level counselors and therapists working toward independent licensure.

Are you and your partner struggling to communicate, finding that your conversations often end in misunderstandings or arguments? Are you feeling overrun by your emotions and losing control of your inner peace? Or perhaps you or your family has been negatively impacted by substance use and you're seeking compassionate support to navigate through these challenges. I firmly believe in the power of resilience and the human capacity for healing no matter the circumstances. While life experiences can be overwhelming, remember, it is possible to reclaim your life and find inner peace.
