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. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained in the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and more, my therapeutic framework is rooted in compassion, mind-body connection, and person- centered values. I love to write, read, draw, wander around, and be with loved ones.
Thanks to the wisdom of mentors, clients, colleagues, researchers, activists, kids, parents, artists, yogis, friends, and many, many other healers… everything I have learned has become and will continue to become Lilac Wellness.
