Paula
Licensed Professional Counselor, Therapist
Whether you seek counseling support to improve the quality of your life as an individual and/or to improve the quality of your relationships, as your counselor, I will provide a safe, judgment free and therapeutic environment to foster growth, healing and self-worth. Together, we will explore your story, the person you are and the person you want to become. Existing within you is the capacity for healing and you will be assisted to access inner strength and develop skill to meaningfully respond to the challenges and difficulties that arise in life. I will nurture hope, courage, self-value, resiliency, healthy boundaries, communication and assertiveness until you develop the positive relationship you want to have with yourself and with others.
I am seasoned as a therapist with over thirty years of professional counseling experience accompanying individuals, couples and family members on their unique journey toward more healthy and fulfilling lives. I am an eclectic generalist, well versed in most therapeutic modalities and best practices and work well with all ages, populations and concerns. My manner may be experienced as warm, present, collaborative, genuine and compassionate.
Prior to joining Willamette Sky Counseling, I have worked in a variety of agency settings in the Eugene and Springfield, as well as, in private practice, providing continuity of care for returning clients. Specialty areas include, but are not limited to: mood disorders, trauma and abuse recovery, grief and loss, solution focused counseling, couple’s counseling, parenting, blended and step-families, attachment disorders, attention-deficit disorders, autism spectrum and developmental disorders, life transition and career support, sexual orientation and identity, suicide prevention and resilience.
