About Paula
Her work also extends to areas such as abandonment, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, family of origin concerns, fertility and cancer related stresses, and struggles with guilt, shame, and self-worth. Paula is a registered play therapist and regularly collaborates with children and their parents to address behavioral and relational needs within the family.
Paula takes a strengths-based stance, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to move through what feels difficult. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can take courage and expresses pride in those who take that first step toward support and growth.
Trauma-Informed and Play-Based Approaches for Online Care
Paula uses a trauma-informed approach that focuses on understanding how past events affect current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach helps people make sense of stress, anxiety, and reactions to trauma so they can develop coping strategies and regain a sense of stability. She also offers play therapy when working with children, using age-appropriate activities and interaction to support emotional expression, behavioral change, and parent-child connection. In family and parenting work she partners with parents to improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and address blended family or family-of-origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paula collaborates with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds. Clients and the therapist work together to determine the best path forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or medical commitments and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support even when in-person visits are difficult. For many people, remote sessions make it simpler to begin and maintain the work of therapy.
