Therapist for millennial women in California specializing in anxiety, breakups, and healing from past relationships. Online therapy available statewide.

Hi, I'm Paulina, I help high-achieving Gen Z + millennial women struggling with anxiety break free from people pleasing patterns + perfectionism to build the life they’ve always wanted.

Stop Overthinking, Start Trusting Yourself Again

Is this you?

You’re navigating internal and external pressures to succeed and have impossibly high standards for yourself

Anxiety is a familiar feeling you may have experienced since childhood. You’re almost “used to it” but have a difficult time managing the thoughts and feelings that accompany it

You’re struggling with perfectionism and burnout

You’re grieving a breakup or struggling through the chaos of a modern dating scene

You’re navigating major life transitions such as marriage and/or motherhood (or deciding if that’s not right for you)

In therapy you’ll learn to…

Manage your anxiety and feel in control of your emotions

Let go of the constant need to control every variable and make everyone happy

Break free from guilt-driven decisions and learn to set boundaries without fear of disappointing others

Quiet the inner critic and reconnect with your voice, values, and sense of self
