MSW, RSW

Social Worker, Psychotherapist
Offering Virtual Therapy

Hello! My name is Paulina, and I’m a Social Worker Psychotherapist located in Hamilton, Ontario. I know it can be a difficult and vulnerable step to share your story with a stranger, so let me tell you a little about myself.

I have been working in mental health for the past 5 years, with 1 year of professional social work practice. I have experience working with addiction, women’s issues, trauma, attachment, and neurodivergent-affirming practices.

My approach to therapy is to support you in feeling more connected to yourself, your loved ones, and the world we live in, in ways that work best for you! I draw on principles of attachment theory, CBT, DBT, ACT, EFIT and IFS–a lot of acronyms, I know.

A fun fact about me is that I enjoy gardening and taking care of far too many indoor plants, as well as spending time with my two rescued cats. 

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey!
