Paulette boasts a decade of experience as a school therapist/advisor and holds an M.S. in counseling from Johns Hopkins. Her focus centers on guiding individuals through life’s challenging transitions, viewing these moments as opportunities for personal growth and expansion.

“From leaving the womb and seeing the world for the first time, to packing up and leaving our job and retiring, to our final transfer from life as we have always known it, to the unknown beyond, life is full of transitions.

All of these changes present obstacles as well as possibilities. Many people notice the difficulties in transitions, dreading the prospect of trying something new and unfamiliar, and experience anxiety, panic, and despair as a result.

Transitions has always seemed like opportunities to me; opportunities to extend my wings and expand my universe.

“As a therapist, it is my mission to assist clients in seeing the problems of the unknown as opportunities.”

“Let’s work together to use a shift as an opportunity to put our skills to the test, discover strengths we didn’t even realize we possessed, and move on knowing we can rekindle old passions and build new ones. Let’s make the future amazing together!” Paulette Moore
