I am a LCSW and have worked in Behavioral Health for the past 5 years. I treat people that struggle with mental health and/or substance abuse. Many of my clients suffered from childhood abuse and trauma.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). I tend to use these in combination, depending on the need.
I believe therapy is work. The journey towards healing can be difficult, but YOU are worth it.

Paulette connects with you and genuinely wants to understanding my feelings. She makes me feel heard and helps me feel confident in my journey! I’ve been through several therapists and it always felt like I was missing something and my breakthroughs were minimal. Connection is key to healing and I think Paulette provides that in every session and in between sessions!!
