As far as the English language goes, you can use any word any way that you want. Many successful writers defy tradition in their writing styles.

HOWEVER as a grammatical rule of thumb you would not want to do that, since therefore is a conjunction and should logically link two ideas together. if you are starting a new paragraph, you should avoid using therefore in order to transition into the new paragraph. if you are not transitioning ideas, then you should consider continuing the paragraph
