My Approach
Hi, I'm Pauline! I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, and I’m so glad you’re here.
My priority is to create a space where you can explore what’s going on beneath the surface without fear of judgment. A space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and compassion, helping you uncover patterns, process emotions, and build more connected, fulfilling relationships with others and with yourself.​
​
If you're looking for a therapist in Los Angeles who brings warmth, authenticity, and a human touch to the therapy process, I’d love to connect with you.

My Services
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION & REPROCESSING (EMDR)
Feeling stuck in old patterns or overwhelmed by past trauma? EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain heal from emotional distress, PTSD, anxiety, and more. EMDR can help reduce emotional intensity and rewire how distressing memories are stored in the brain.
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps you explore and heal the different “parts” of yourself like the inner critic, the anxious part, or the people-pleaser. By reconnecting with your calm, core Self, IFS supports deep emotional healing, reduces inner conflict, and fosters lasting change from the inside out.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based, evidence-backed approach that helps individuals manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and create more stability in daily life. DBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotion dysregulation, and more.​
THERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS
The teenage years are a time of rapid change emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Many adolescents struggle with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, peer pressure, school stress, or family conflict. I use a personalized, compassionate approach grounded in evidence-based modalities like DBT, IFS, CBT, and EMDR to help teens feel seen, supported, and empowered.
THERAPY FOR YOUNG ADULTS
Whether you’re graduating college, facing career transitions, relationship changes, identity exploration, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, therapy can provide the clarity, tools, and emotional support you need to move forward with confidence.​ I utilize evidence-based approaches like DBT, IFS, CBT, and EMDR, to support young adults explore who they are, what they want, and how to thrive emotionally, professionally, and personally.
FAMILY THERAPY
Whether you're navigating major life transitions, struggling with parenting challenges, or feeling disconnected as a family unit, family therapy offers a supportive space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen relationships.​ My goal is to help families move from tension and misunderstanding toward connection, cooperation, and healing.
PARENT COACHING
Parenting is deeply rewarding but it can also be overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally challenging. My approach to working with parents combines Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and teach effective parenting strategies tailored to your family's unique needs.
