Hello, I'm Pauline. With over 25 years of experience working with diverse populations, I am currently dedicated to helping adults of all ages navigate their mental health journeys. My career has taken me across several states, including Massachusetts, Arizona, and Alaska, where I have practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Though my roots are in Massachusetts, I now reside in Escondido, CA, offering my services through video platforms like SonderMind. I am still licensed in Massachusetts as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
I pride myself on being open, honest, and easy to talk to. As a mother of two adult daughters, raised with the support of my family, I understand the complexities of balancing personal and professional life. My journey has led me to embrace a more holistic approach to mental health, incorporating herbal and alternative medicine options to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety. I believe that while some diagnoses may require medication, many mental health challenges can be addressed through counseling and understanding the triggers behind them.
I specialize in areas such as Anger Management, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Family Relationships, Grief/Bereavement, Life Transitions, Medical Issues/Physical Health, OCD, PTSD, Intimate/Romantic Relationships, Spirituality, Stress, and Trauma. My approach is to help you process what is happening in your world, offering a space where you can share your struggles without overwhelming your inner circle. Sometimes, discussing your challenges with someone outside your immediate support system can provide the clarity and perspective needed to regain balance and achieve your goals.
I look forward to talking with you further and beginning to unravel your amazing story that makes you uniquely you!
