She supports clients in exploring their strengths, support systems, family dynamics, and the ways in which social-cultural norms, and systems of oppression influence their life experiences. Such explorations of client’s past and present experiences are with the client's consent, and degree of comfortability in mind. For Paola therapy is a collaborative process and she believes in the importance of building a trusting therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth and healing.

Paola is honored to serve adults from diverse backgrounds. She specializes in serving LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, expatriates' community and individuals who experience anxiety and depression.

Message to clients

I understand the vulnerability, trust and courage it takes to engage in psychotherapy and confide your deepest worries, fears and desires in someone. I also know that it can be challenging to nourish your self-esteem and experience positive emotions when you feel consumed by excessive worry and the recurrent distress of traumatic events. You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will work on developing the mechanisms you need to cultivate inner peace and harmony as you weather some of your life’s transitions. I cordially invite you to coordinate a complimentary consultation call to explore if I can be of service to you. I look forward to connecting with you.
