I am so glad that you are here and ready to improve your life. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida & Tennessee. I have experience in helping clients with self-care, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues.
My therapy style is warm, interactive and real. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. This journey is about you. Test everything. Treasure what works for you and disregard the rest. I believe in treating everyone how I would want to be treated. This is why I only take on a small caseload so that I can dedicate my time with my clients. I believe that self-awareness and mindfulness are vital components of reflecting on yourself and your behavior. In order to accept and acknowledge that you might tend to react to certain situations in a specific way, you first have to notice that it's happening. The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. Just as you know that it's important to take care of your physical well-being with a healthy diet and proper exercise, it is also important to take care of your mental and emotional well-being. Remember that your wellbeing is worth the investment of time and energy. The work you do now can pay dividends for years to come.
Be kind to yourself! Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile and start again.
I generally check messages here a few times per day Mon-Fri and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities.

She's amazing - I really like her way of having multiple approaches to one problem; the techniques that I learn can help with other problems that I have. She's very kind and caring.

She’s great and definitely knows how to handle our conversations. So glad I found her on here!
Written on May 13, 2023 after therapy with Paula for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, and self esteem
In only 2 weeks I can already see a massive difference in my anxiety and this is all contributed to the AMAZING and INSIGHTFUL help and stories from Paula’s own similar life-experiences which is invaluable. I can already tell I’ll be a better help subscriber for a while, I’d fought getting back into therapy for a while due to therapist’s in the past not relating to my issues, but I think I’ve found my home/ comfort zone! Will highly continue to recommend!
