Great therapist

Pauline helped me get to the bottom of the things I needed to talk about and helped me to not sweat the small stuff. The questions she asked were very thought provoking and she has helped me so much. I am very grateful for Pauline's professional, yet very personable, approach and would recommend her to anyone.

I've had experiences talking to other professionals before but Pauline brings a different sense of warmth to our conversations. She is easy going, knowledgeable, and just a lot of fun to talk to. She really makes me feel heard and understood. For anyone looking for a therapist, I highly recommend her :)
