Hi, my name is Paulette. As a bilingual therapist who speaks both English and Spanish, it is especially meaningful to me to be able to support more people within the Coachella Valley. I have lived in the Valley for most of my life and truly love calling it home, which makes being able to serve this community even more special to me.

My approach to therapy is primarily person-centered. I believe every person brings their own unique experiences, strengths, and understanding into the room, even during times when things may feel unclear. I see my role as walking alongside clients in their healing journey as they better understand themselves, their experiences, and what they may need along the way. I also believe that everyone is unique in the way they heal, so I like to remain open and flexible in my approach, pulling from what may work best for each person. Some of the approaches I often incorporate include CBT, DBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

If you feel nervous about starting therapy, you do not need to have the right words or everything figured out. Therapy can simply be a space that belongs to you, where you can feel heard, supported, and safe to be yourself as you heal and grow.

Outside of therapy, I am a wife and a mother to two amazing kids. I truly enjoy spending quality time with my family, whether we are making memories or simply enjoying time at home with our dogs. I try to live with gratitude and stay mindful of the beauty in both the big and small moments of life. I am continually amazed by the strength of people, the power of connection, and the healing that can come from feeling genuinely seen and supported.
