Meet Paul
What was your path to becoming a mental health therapist?
When I was diagnosed with OCD at the age of seven, my mother took me to see a psychotherapist where I received treatment for about a year. I remember it being incredibly difficult, especially being as young as I was. I wanted to give up. The idea of getting better seemed impossible at times but with my mother's support, I stuck with it. At the end of my treatment, I remember the renewed sense of freedom I had and from that moment, I wanted to share that feeling with others.
What should someone know about working with you?
My therapeutic approach revolves around building a relationship with my clients and establishing the core issue of what is a challenge for them by facilitating a place for them to be transparent with themselves, and judgment-free. The first step toward getting better is having the courage to ask for help. Let's meet for a session and get to know one another.
