Helping families, couples, adults and children explore challenges and shift patterns that will allow them to live fuller and more balanced lives. 

 Families are complex and formidable configurations of personalities, mood, genetics and dreams. It is where we begin in life, influencing and impacting us deeply. A family systems approach informs all of my work, and is especially useful to assist families and couples with improving communication, addressing difficult child behaviors, and in shifting dysfunctional painful patterns. I also work with children, teenagers and adults individually, focusing on providing a safe space to explore ways in which to thrive. You may feel depressed, anxious or overwhelmed with stress. You may be grieving, searching for meaning, dealing with body image or recovering from trauma. Retirement/aging, gender identity, marginalization, fertility concerns may be relevant to you. We will work together, transforming your life, allowing for more joy and peace. I view the therapeutic relationship as sacred and will respect you and the work every step of the way.

About Patricia

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 30 years experience. I believe that self exploration, as well as a humble dedication to personal growth are significant components to having more ease in one's life. Many stumbling blocks can impede this journey and there are various paths to experiencing balance in life, one is therapy. If you are reading this you may believe this as well. The old quote from Lao-Tzu is often stated as: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", but a more correct translation is: "The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one's feet." Shall we begin, from where you stand?

Let's talk therapY

INTROSPECTION
COMMUNICATION
HEALING

In my work, I incorporate traditional psychological approaches such as psychodynamics and trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy, as well as mindfulness based practices. I am EMDR trained. My primary influence has been Virginia Satir, a pioneer in the field of family therapy. Through these modalities and theories, I assess with you what may be the underpinnings of what brings you to therapy, and how to best create coping skills, as well as ways in which you can heal and flourish. Collaboratively, we create a cogent way forward to improve communication, increase self understanding and design lifelong lasting positive habits.
A passion of mine is the connection between nature and wellness, as well as incorporating ceremony into the healing process.
