Does this Sound Familiar?
You want to experience a meaningful and fulfilled life but instead you feel:
- Exhausted and depleted
- Paralyzed about anxiety and feeling uncertain about what is next.
- Struggling to adjust to a new place, to a new life.
- Trying to figure out who you are by looking into supposed to be?
- Experiencing a different culture and trying to integrate with who you have been?
On the outside, you seem to have things under control but deep inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand.
If you are first-gen, immigrant, or bicultural, your story carries layers of family sacrifice, cultural expectations, and survival that most therapy spaces don’t know how to hold.
I know it can be difficult to make the decision to start therapy, and
I’m honored that you’ve taken the first step.
It can take a lot of courage, especially when you might already feel hopeless and depleted.
Letting yourself be vulnerable with a stranger and finding someone that "gets you" can be hard.
Hi/Hola, I’m Paula (She/Her) and I can help.
I provide psychotherapy to first-gen & bicultural adults, and couples navigating navigating emotional, cultural, and financial stress.
I use a relational psychodynamic (recognizing the role relationships play in the shaping our experiences) and a cultural-sensitive approach in English and Spanish.
I believe that therapy is an important step in discovering the world around you and finding your place in it. I aim to provide a space where you feel heard and understood, a space that allows you to increase self-awareness and emotional regulation. I encourage curiosity, compassion, self-reflection.
