Paul is a dedicated and compassionate Pre-Licensed Clinician who is passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward greater well-being. He is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University. Drawn to the field by the growing recognition of the importance of mental health, Paul is committed to expanding access to care and helping clients develop meaningful tools they can use in their everyday lives.

Paul creates a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. He believes that clients are the experts in their own lives and places a strong emphasis on autonomy, collaboration, and meeting clients where they are. His approach focuses on building practical skills while creating space for reflection, self-discovery, and meaningful growth.

Paul works with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, grief, trauma, substance use, and significant life transitions. He also has experience supporting individuals with developmental challenges and long-standing emotional stressors. Paul works collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to navigate everyday challenges.

In his clinical work, Paul draws from Motivational Interviewing, CBT-informed, and solution-focused approaches. He helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, explore their own reasons for change, and develop practical coping skills that support lasting growth.

Paul believes that everyone has the capacity to grow and create meaningful change. His goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can better understand themselves, build resilience, and develop the confidence and tools needed to move forward.

Outside of the therapy room, Paul enjoys building computers, playing the saxophone, and exploring his interest in birds.
