Hi, I’m Patti, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. I believe healing happens when we have a safe space to explore our stories without judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in practical tools you can use right away. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you as you build confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.
During your first appointment, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. I’ll ask some gentle questions to understand your goals, your history, and what support looks like for you. Together, we’ll explore what you’d like to focus on and begin building a plan that feels manageable and hopeful. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and not rushed.
I bring a collaborative, strengths‑based approach that helps clients recognize their resilience, values, and inner resources. My strengths include helping people identify what’s working, reframing challenges, and building confidence through practical, achievable steps. I support clients in developing clarity, self‑trust, and a sense of agency in their lives.
My ideal clients are individuals who want a supportive space to talk through life’s challenges and feel genuinely heard. They may be navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or major transitions and are looking for a therapist who is patient, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They value a collaborative approach and appreciate having a steady, grounding presence as they explore their thoughts and emotions.

CBT empowers you to challenge limiting beliefs and build habits that support your goals. We focus on identifying your strengths, practicing new skills, and creating small, meaningful shifts in how you think and respond. Over time, this approach helps you feel more confident, capable, and aligned with the life you want to build.
Mindfulness‑based therapy teaches you how to slow down, tune into your inner experience, and create space between yourself and overwhelming thoughts or emotions. Together, we practice simple, grounding techniques that help you feel more present, steady, and connected to yourself. Over time, mindfulness builds resilience, reduces stress, and supports a more compassionate relationship with your mind and body.
Strengths‑based therapy helps you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are capable, resilient, and wise. Together, we explore what’s already working in your life and use those strengths to navigate challenges with more confidence. This approach empowers you to see yourself through a more compassionate lens and make changes that feel aligned with who you are.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify their strengths, resources, and what is already working in their lives. Rather than focusing primarily on problems or the past, it emphasizes small, realistic steps toward the change a client wants to see. I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients clarify goals, recognize exceptions to challenges, build confidence, and create manageable strategies for moving forward. It can be especially helpful for clients seeking focused support with life transitions, stress, relationship concerns, motivation, and problem-solving.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps clients explore mixed feelings about change and strengthen their own motivation. It centers on the client’s values, goals, and personal reasons for making a change rather than pressure or advice. I use Motivational Interviewing to support clients who feel stuck, uncertain, or ambivalent about next steps. Together, we identify what matters most, explore barriers without judgment, and develop realistic, self-directed goals. It can be especially helpful with behavior change, anxiety, depression, substance-use concerns, health goals, and major life transitions.
