About
A Little Bit About Myself
Hello! My name is Paula and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Grande Prairie, AB.
I grew up in Brazil and moved to Canada in 2017 to pursue higher education. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Alberta in 2022, I moved to Grande Prairie, where I found a welcoming and supportive community that I am proud to call my home. I then completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Capella University in 2024.
I knew early on that I wanted to pursue a career in sexual health. So throughout my post-secondary education, I focused my studies on sexual health, sex therapy, intimacy for religious couples, couple dynamics, and psychological changes that commonly accompany big life transitions such as having children.
