Pauline is an amazing therapist. When I speak with her I feel understood without judgement. When she gives feedback it’s insightful and thought out. And when things go wrong in between my sessions she is there for me to help ease my mind to end the spiral.

Pauline and I are still at the beginning of our journey, but I felt she is understanding and curious about who I am and what my goals are. She is encouraging and easy to talk to. Gives me tools that are easy to implement in my life. I'm looking forward to our talks and am excited to continue my healing journey with her.
