Paulette
I take a holistic approach to therapy, understanding that true healing integrates the mind and body. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of postpartum life, working through trauma, or seeking guidance during pivotal life transitions—including perimenopause and menopause—I am here to support and walk alongside you on your journey.
Background
My heart's work is supporting adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, depression, self-esteem struggles, prenatal and postpartum transitions, life transitions, identity exploration, LGBTQ+ mental health, and healing from complex trauma. As a Latina therapist, I offer therapy in English and Spanish, honoring the importance of culturally responsive, inclusive care. My clients are ready to reclaim their voice, soften self-doubt, and reconnect with who they truly are.
As a holistic trauma-based therapist, I blend talk therapy, nervous-system support, mindfulness, emotional processing, and art. I help you unlearn perfectionism, soften your inner critic, and reconnect with the parts of yourself pushed aside—whether due to trauma, identity struggles, or life’s pressures.
You’re not broken—and you don’t have to keep holding it all together alone. Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are beneath life’s expectations, you deserve support. I’m here to offer a safe, affirming space to heal, grow, and remember the you that’s been there all along.
Apart from the work and services I provide as a therapist, I find joy in traveling the world and tasting new dishes with my wife, watching comfort shows and movies, and sipping on my favorite boba milk tea.
