I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Since 2011, I’ve worked in private practice supporting clients through the complexities of personal and professional life—with empathy, clarity, and a practical, solution-focused approach. I specialize in working with busy professionals who are juggling demanding careers, life changes, and the weight of high expectations. Whether you’re navigating workplace burnout, relationship stress, anxiety, or grief, I’m here to help you find steadier ground and move forward with more balance and confidence.
My job in out first session is to listen. Listen to your story. And then ask questions to learn more about you. Why did you reach out, why now, why today? What have you tried? What is working? What isn't? What do you hope will change or get better? And after we get to know each other better we can begin.

Pat was ready to dig in! I really appreciated the questions she asked, her ability to keep up with the crazy details of my stories and experiences, and her swiftness in driving to areas ripe for healing and strengthening. She wasn't afraid to challenge my thought patterns, directly encouraging me to reframe them in a way that felt empowering. I'm looking forward to continuing the conversation, feeling understood and optimistic that I can do the work to heal and thrive.
