She strives to create a safe and warm environment in which clients can feel truly seen as a way to help nurture healing and change. Paulomi believes that the key to therapy is a strong bond between client and therapist. Having worked in community mental health, her approach to therapy has been largely trauma-informed, which operates on the principle of understanding people in the context of their lives and what has happened to them.

Being South Asian herself, she recognizes the stigma of seeking mental health that is still prevalent in these communities. She has experience facilitating conversations regarding racial identity and assimilation to Western culture, having immigrated herself as a child.

Paulomi approaches therapy with an eclectic approach, incorporating interventions and techniques from various therapeutic modalities. Most prominently, she believes in utilizing emotion-focused, attachment-based, feminist, and psychodynamic therapies. She utilizes a gender affirmative and culturally responsive lens with all clients. Paulomi is honored to be a part of her clients’ healing journeys.
