She’s willing to listen. She’s very understanding. She is patient and very kind. She creates a safe space for you to be vulnerable. She gives you time to unravel yourself to be open.

Paula was both patient and understanding. She understood the difficulties I had and let me decide how to approach these sessions based on my own comfort levels what with social anxiety and all. She always asked the right questions and always stood on track to the topic at hand. I am very grateful for having her to talk to about what troubled me. A lot of weight has been lifted, and I’ve gained a lot of perspective within the first couple of sessions alone.

I was so apprehensive about therapy. I didn’t know what to think. How I would respond, how she would respond to my vulnerability. However, I have never felt more open with a person before Paula. She has helped me tremendously in such a short amount of time & I look forward to our future sessions!
