Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Paula, LCSW. Join me in a calming space where you can feel peace as you heal. I specialize in helping you resolve wounds, old or new, holding you back from thriving and living life in your higher purpose.

I completed my MSW at USC Los Angeles. After working for the Department of Mental Health in LA for more than 10 years, I started Peace of Wisdom Therapy, an inclusive clinical practice committed to providing a variety of mental health services to adults and couples in California.

My approach to therapy

Using therapeutic techniques proven to be effective, I facilitate a deep healing process where individuals can develop the solutions that tremendously improve their quality of life. My clients become skillful at creating emotional peace within and with others, allowing them to be their best selves and love the life they are living. I have been trained in a variety of therapy methods, and I am sure to customize the methods I use in our work together to your specific needs.

What you can expect from me

Some therapeutic methods focus on coping rather than healing. I truly believe in the importance of healing past and present wounds to remove any power they could be holding over you, draining your life and relationships of energy and peace. Through our work together, you learn how to calm yourself and skillfully respond so that you live a healthy and fulfilled life, with loving relationships, free of emotional overwhelm and stress.
