Paula has been an incredible therapist that’s helped me focus on my concerns of everyday life living with ADHD. She’s supported me in all of the details I have shared with her, and she has helped me manage goals I have set out with step by step tasks that have allowed me to thrive in my life. I am so grateful for Paula & have enjoyed the time we have worked together. Honestly, the best therapist I have worked with and I could not recommend her enough.
