Hi, I’m Paola.
You have within you the strength, resilience, and wisdom to heal.
My role is to help you uncover it.
As an Afro-Latina therapist, I understand how cultural norms, systemic oppression, and life’s challenges can impact your sense of belonging and self-worth.
Together, we can navigate these complexities and work toward a life where you feel grounded, empowered, and at peace.

“I had the pleasure of working with Paola and I was so grateful to have found her! She really helped me manage my anxiety and learn heathy boundary setting. She challenged me and my thoughts but always with love and care. If you are debating on going with her, let me encourage you to do so! You will not regret it!"”
My Yoga Journey
Yoga introduced me to the power of active meditation over a decade ago. What began as a personal practice evolved into a passion for teaching, particularly to children and underrepresented communities. With certifications in Trauma-Informed Yoga and Children’s Yoga, I integrate these practices to support emotional and physical healing.
If you’re exploring mindfulness or meditation, remember: there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. With patience and curiosity, we’ll find what works best for you.
