THERAPIST | AMFT #149158

Hi I'm Pauline,

I'm a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to the therapeutic process is eclectic as I incorporate a variety of modalities and therapeutic approaches to tailor it to the needs of each client, often including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. In taking a holistic approach to address a client's concerns, I incorporate mindfulness and somatic-based strategies to address the mind, body, and soul connection. I make an effort to meet my client where they're at while also challenging them as needed to further support continued growth. I have experience working with families, adolescents, and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, familial issues/discord, and life transitions.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish. Te invito a mi espacio para aprender cómo manejar las dificultades del día a día y para explorar la oportunidad de curación a largo plazo. Como mujer Mexicoamericana, tengo experiencia en abordar cuestiones sobre expectativas de género, preocupaciones multiculturales y desconexión de identidad.

I began my academic journey at a community college, from which I transferred to California State University, San Bernardino, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Child and Adolescent Development. Being an advocate for mental health and well-being, I then went to Cal Poly Pomona to pursue a Master of Science degree in Psychology for Marriage and Family Therapy, which led to opportunities at a collegiate setting, then later into a community mental health clinic.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, reading a good true crime story, and spending time with family and nature, whether it be the mountains or at the beach. As you have now made the brave decision to begin or continue your therapeutic journey, I seek to invite you into a space in which I will have the privilege to walk along your side as you begin or continue to grow and heal. I look forward to supporting you in living life "Un día a la vez" (One day at a time).
