My approach to treating OCD starts with providing education — helping you understand the intricacies of your OCD, how it shows up, and how to best challenge it so it doesn't interfere with life. In session, you'll practice ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) effectively, so you can feel confident and see progress. I love to see people grow, increase their confidence, and become the best versions of themselves. I believe in treating everyone with exceptional care and guidance. My other areas of focus include depression and hoarding.

Why our members love working with Paula
A.M.
Paula has been more than amazing throughout my journey. She's stuck with me through thick and thin, putting me in my place when needed, and helping me understand how I function. I would not have been able to survive or endure what I did throughout my year & something without her. She made my life enjoyable, and Im excited she's growing and moving towards a better opportunity. She's amazing and deserves it all
