I am extremely impressed with Paula’s attentiveness and empathy. From the very beginning, she has been an excellent listener and has shown a genuine interest in helping me work through my issues. She is always fully present during our sessions, actively engaged in our conversations, and never makes me feel rushed or dismissed.

What I appreciate most about my Paula is her ability to empathize. She truly understands the emotions and struggles that I am going through and provides me with a safe space where I can express myself without any judgment. Her empathy has been instrumental in helping me develop a deeper understanding of myself and in finding ways to cope with the challenges I face.

Overall, I highly recommend Paula to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and empathetic professional to help them navigate life's difficulties.

I came on to better help to get some guidance and realization in my life with some Christian guidance and with Paula, I got exactly that. I got 100% support, love and help to realize my family issues, and to realize what type of person I am and how can I grow and help out everyone around me. What is my purpose and how do I fulfill my purpose while putting up boundaries. In my head, I kept going around in circles on how to establish that but Paula made my path clear and that is all thanks to God that he gave her the tools and she passed them on to me. I have learned so much, I have reconnected with my faith, and with my family, and began to be more joyful with my life thanks to Paula’s guidance.

Paula has been extremely helpful as my therapist. We were matched perfectly as she is about my same age with grown children like myself. She is able to open me up to see the positives in my life, and to work on gratitude. She turns my anger into encouragement and empathizes with my situation, but at the same time works with me on forgiveness. Never tells me what to do, but just talks about things to make me think and make good decisions.

I feel she deeply cares for her patients and invests the time to get to know you in order to best support your healing. I highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a therapist.

Paula is a blessing. She is helping me more than I will be able to describe here. She is amazing! I can’t thank her enough.

Paula is simply one of those people that just has “IT”. That gift to help people. Whether it be a reference from the Bible, God, school or life’s wisdom. She always has a way of guiding and helping.

I have never felt more comfortable sharing my personal things /problems with someone more than Paula. I’m glad God has crossed our paths. Thank you Paula!

Paula has been phenomenal. We are getting to the crux of a lot of deeply rooted themes that I have not felt safe being vulnerable about with other therapists in the past. Paula encourages you to challenge yourself while feeling safe the entire time. She is the perfect combination of honest and comforting. It’s worked well for me and I can’t wait to see even more progress. Feeling more excited about my life again since getting treatment from Paula. Thank you!

I’m very thankful that I was matched with Paula. I’ve loved her focus on actionable next steps and her positive attitude. It’s been very helpful to have somebody to discuss my anxiety and concerns with a 3rd party, and I’ve seen progress in those areas in just a few weeks.

I've only had 3 sessions with Paula, and can't wait to see what revelations our next session will bring. She's quickly spotted and explained what was going on with me and given me 'things' to do that will help turn my situation around. i've already implemented a few techniques and found them useful.

Paula helped me to understand where I was in my mental state. She focused on what I needed at this point in life and made me feel safe talking about these issues. Her Christian belief allowed me to open up and also receive God's word in her guidance and recommendations.

I've been working with Paula on long-term effects (PTSD) of bullying in 4th grade. She suggested that we try EMDR, which she is trained in. After 3 sessions, I'm starting to see the results in terms of my mood being more positive, my thoughts are less negative, and I'm able to be more positive and confident. I'm looking forward to completing this series with Paula.
