About Patricia
Patricia aims to make the therapy room a calm place to sort things out. She encourages small, manageable steps toward the changes a person wants. She frames progress as practical work that happens between sessions as well as during them.
Her background includes a range of clinical approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and shift patterns of thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take committed action. Attachment-focused and client-centered methods shape how she builds trust and listens closely.
In sessions she helps people untangle immediate problems like sleep, eating, or impulsivity, and longer-term concerns such as relationship patterns or life transitions. She also supports people dealing with identity and LGBT-related stress, first responder issues, and caregiving or end-of-life concerns.
Patricia works with practical coping skills and emotional processing. She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals so each person knows what the work will look like. If someone wants to explore whether her style fits, she encourages them to reach out and begin with a short matching process.
