I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the field with all ages for the last 5 years, teens exclusively 2 years before that. I have worked with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual identity issues, and addiction. There is not a population of people I feel uncomfortable working with.
My therapeutic approach is a combination of psychodynamic, humanistic, and reality therapy. My goal as a therapist is to help you meet your goals, while becoming obsolete. I want you to be able to live your life as free as possible and no longer have a need for me.
I am an EMDR trained therapist, which has been an instrumental tool in working with individuals suffering from trauma such as loss of a loved one or rape. For more information on EMDR follow this link: https://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/
I would describe my counseling style as non-judgmental, genuine, warm, and solution-focused. I will help you get to wherever you need to go, whether that's a better sense of self, better work ethic, or lower depressive or anxious levels. I am also here if you just need an unbiased 3rd party listen to your issues in a confidential setting.

Paul is very patient, listens and offers great advice. It is difficult to find a therapist that understands LGBTQ+ issues and provide appropriate and genuine support and advice and tools to work with. Definitely recommend!

Paul is fantastic. Therapy feels low-pressure, but also goal-oriented in a way I haven’t experienced before. He’s a fantastic listener, and also helps me turn my random thoughts into goals and actions — with plenty of room for changing course when something doesn’t work. Would absolutely recommend him!!

I struggled with finding a suitable therapist for a while when first using this platform. I was looking for a therapist who makes me feel at ease, who I can share almost everything without fearing being judged. I am glad I was finally matched with one who checks almost all the boxes.

Super understanding and a lovely guy. I feel really comfortable sharing things that I wouldn't normally share this casually. He's not only nice and open, but also very professional and respectful :) Hell, he even laughs at my terrible jokes! This is awesome! (yeah no, but seriously - would absolutely recommend him)

Paul is a wonderful therapist. He is kind, non-judgemental and really listens. I felt comfortable opening up to him from the very first session. His support was a lifeline as he helped me heal from and put into context childhood memories that were holding me back. I would highly recommend him as a therapist.
