About me
As a psychologist/therapist, I want to work with you to gain the tools and strategies to help you move past the area that is of concern. I have been in practice for nearly 20 years, having raised three beautiful daughters and now enjoying 4 grandchildren. I believe that we must find the positive and the good in each day even if it's small to give us the power and motivation to move forward. It is not always easy, but it is definitely worth it.
My approach combines cognitive behavioral, client/person-centered, solution-focused, psychoanalysis, trauma-focused CBT, and teaching individuals how to be kind to self by using healing oriented approach therapies. I will tailor our treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. When you are ready to take your first step towards change, I am here to help guide you toward a more productive life. Lets talk and begin a new chapter.
You will not be judged, but understood.

Dr Paula has been a great therapist for me. She was readily available when I needed her. She was supportive of me and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed her as my therapist.

Paula is wonderful. I really like how she lets me in on her opinion instead of just sitting there nodding. I appreciate her honest and straight forward approach.

Dr. Ehrmantraut is available, but not overbearing. She will hear you out and knows when to offer a solution, and when to simply listen. I trust her and appreciate her for the empathy and expertise she shows in her approach.
