About Paola
I take a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. I have experience supporting BIPOC and first-generation clients, particularly around identity, family expectations, and life transitions, and I strive to create a space where clients feel seen and understood. I draw from CBT, DBT-informed skills, TF-CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to provide both practical tools and opportunities for insight. My goal is to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences and work toward their personal goals at their own pace.
