Hi, I’m Paola! I’m a spanglish therapist who supports adult women navigating anxiety, overthinking, sadness, relationship challenges, and the changes life brings. I especially enjoy working with first-generation women, young professionals, and moms who are used to being there for everyone else but find it hard to make space for themselves.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. You don’t have to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say before coming to therapy. We’ll start where you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. As a Mexican-American and first-generation woman, I understand how family expectations, culture, and the roles we carry can influence how we feel about ourselves.
I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach and draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. In our work together, that might look like making sense of your thoughts, learning ways to handle overwhelming emotions, practicing boundaries, or figuring out what matters most to you.
My hope is to help you feel more connected to yourself and more confident in how you navigate everyday life. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you make space for yourself and discover what feeling better looks like for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
