Clients say this provider is
I am a licensed therapist with many years of experience in different situations. I have worked in private practice, group practices, community mental health and corrections. My areas of strength are with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationships and helping clients with their general sense of life struggles. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches while trying to match my clients with what works for them and what they feel comfortable in utilizing.
During our first session I spend most of the time listening to what brought the client into therapy. I ask a few clarification questions but am primarily interested in what the client wants out of therapy. I like to develop a list of topics in therapy and try to prioritize those in conjunction with the client.
I have had numerous years of experience as a therapist and very, very few things surprise me. I take a realistic approach to my life and will encourage clients to do the same.

We are not good at dealing with death or any loss. Death and loss are difficult to navigate and I do understand that grief is an individual process and there is not a blanket way to deal with it.
Using cognitive behavioral therapy, a system that will help change the way we think, teach us more realistic ways to approach our current challenges, and know when things cannot be changed is an excellent way to deal with both past traumas and current traumas.
CBT helps us to overcome emotional distress. It addresses our anxiety, depression, guilt, and other negative emotions that persist because we get stuck in those repetitive negative thoughts.

Patricia is very compassionate and at the same time able to give me guidance through a difficult time in my life. She listens and interprets and somehow manages to provide me with steps to follow to manage my grief after losing my love.

I am really enjoying my sessions with Patty. She is very intuitive as well as skilled professionally and really understands where the trauma begins and how it affects my life. I’m grateful for her peaceful presence and that she jumps right in and gives techniques and skills to alleviate sadness.
