Very compassionate, listens to you and validates your feelings. She then makes suggestions that help you through your problems.

Paula is the best! I have been with her on and off for many many years, and she is the best. I would, and have recommended her to many. Her experience and her personality make her very easy to relate to.

Paula is the first therapist I’ve truly been able to connect with. She’s respectful and supportive, and makes a point to show that she truly cares about me as her client and just as a person. She’s helped me reach a stable maintenance phase and learn to prioritize myself and my happiness!

Paula is fantastic. I have always felt supported, challenged, and safe when talking with Paula. I have been working with her for the last almost 2 years, which is truly incredible and the longest I have worked with a therapist consistently. She challenges me to think about things in different ways, reminds me to take care of myself and not just others, which as a mom of young kids is a reminder we all need. I am so thankful for Paula's partnership and support.

She has been a true asset. Her professionalism is second to none. She is exactly what I need in a therapist.

I have been working with Paula for quite sometime now and she is absolutely incredible. I feel supported and heard. She validates my feelings and helps me work through them during session and gives suggestions for between sessions too. She is calm, cool and collected and funny too, which the world needs more of!

Absolutely phenominal therapist. I've been going to her since Jan of 2021. Interactions with Paula definitely have made me a believer in the value of therapy. Couldn't ask for a better first-time therapy experience.

I have seen Paula often on for a number of years, and I have recommended her to my children as well as others that I know. She is excellent. Her personality aligns perfectly with mine and she understands me better than anyone I know. She has helped me through some difficult times in life and will always be an asset that I value both professionally and personally!

Paula is the absolute best. My family and I have been with Paula off and on foe years and she has been wonderful to work with.

I have seen many counselors and not one of them compare to the level of attentiveness, empathy, advice, or care that she has provided. I most certainly would not be where I am today with out Paula . I could not be more thankful or more grateful for all the time she has dedicated to helping me be a better me and seeing the world in a different way. If everyone had a Paula the world would most definitely be a better place.

Paula has changed my perception of therapy altogether. I found her to be incredibly approachable and understanding -- and she was instrumental in helping me learn more about the underlying issues which were the real cause of much of the stress and behavioral issues I was looking to solve. I would recommend her to anyone, as they would be lucky to have her.

Paula is the best counselor I’ve had. She finds relevant ways to relate to me to help me feel validated while still not shifting the focus off of what I’m talking about. She really helps me reevaluate my situation.

I was a patient of Paula’s at her other company before she transitioned over to BetterHelp. I can certainly say that she is the only reason I came to BetterHelp myself. She is one of the most understanding, down to earth people I have ever met. Paula has not only helped me, but also my family, tremendously. I trust her like no other and am so happy that I got to reconnect with her on this platform. She is very easy to talk to and I would recommend her to anyone of any age. I love Paula!

Very kind. Always easy to talk to and understanding even on my “off” days. I always look forward to our conversations each week. Appreciate the time she takes to even check in with you throughout the week.

Paula has been very helpful. I really appreciate her positive attitude and empathy. She has helped me get to get through a very stressful period.

Paula has been a great support and given me tools to navigate some rough patches. She listens to me and helps me to work through things in the healthiest way possible. I have grown as a person and become much more mindful since meeting with Paula. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Therapist was fantastic and still is

I have met with Paula twice now and she is absolutely incredible. She is thorough, she listens, she provides strategies that are not only practical but actually help and work with the way my mind works. She is nothing short of amazing and I am so thankful that we were matched.

She is a very kind hearted person. I'm not accustomed to talking about any feelings I have, and I've been through a lot in my life. She's very sensitive and open to how people deal with their problems, and she maintains a balance between pushing you towards the edge of your comfort zone, without making you feel uncomfortable about it.

Paul is deep experience with families, kids and adults helped me so much as a parent seeking to navigate my own mental health and that of my teen. Her grounded, action-based approach yields real benefits. She has given me ideas for behavior changes that have greatly helped to reduce my anxiety. She’s also just very easy to talk to!

Paula is AMAZING. She is someone grounded who you can really connect with. She gets you to see perspectives other than your own. She is validating on one hand and has the ability to hold you accountable on the other. I could not recommend her more!

She is experienced, grounded and compassionate.

Paula has helped me so much in a couple of sessions. She is a great listener, empathetic, but also has given me tools that have been so helpful. I always feel better after we communicate. She is really wonderful.

She is as amazing person!

I love talking to Paula. She's very knowledgeable and sympathetic, and has great suggestions to help with my problems, and provides gentle but consistent reminders to make progress on things I want to work on.

She is a Supreme asset. Has made me comfortable and has helped me work on what I need to.

Paula is fantastic at understanding struggles from many different angles and being able to relate on multiple levels. Her experience is varied and helpful. She is also fantastically “normal,” as in she doesn’t put on a facade in any way. And I don’t feel any judgement when I’m honest about my thoughts and feeling.

Paula is a great therapist/counselor; she’s very knowledgeable. I consider myself a pretty needy client, as I send messages often (some of which are so long they could be considered dissertations). She is always attentive in responding in a time sensitive manor and makes me feel at ease. I have a lot to work through, and I’m glad I have Paula to guide me along the way. As a past sailor, I like to swear when describing things, and she isn’t offended by it. Huge plus!
