Meet Paulina

Outside of being a therapist, I am a sister, daughter, auntie, friend, and bunny mom. I grew up in various places (Oregon, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Pennsylvania again) but moved to Utah in 2017, where I began my studies at Utah State University and graduated in 2022 with my Master’s in Social Work. I love to write, read, draw, wander around, and be with loved ones.

I am thankful for and devoted to continue learning from the wisdom of mentors, clients, colleagues, researchers, activists, kids, parents, artists, yogis, and friends. I love learning and I love people.
