Hello. I’m Patricia. We all face challenges in our lives. Some big, and some small. My goal is to help you successfully address challenges in your life that have become burdensome. I believe therapy should address the whole person because life challenges are often complex and can interrupt several parts of your life. I am dedicated to helping you by taking a therapeutic approach to include your physical, mental, and emotional needs. I use evidence-based therapy practices that have been proven to be effective. I provide services in a confidential, safe, caring and encouraging atmosphere. Consideration is always given to ethnic, religious, economic, or social needs you may have. Let’s conquer those burdensome challenges in your life together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have extensive training in treating individuals that are struggling to manage both mental health diagnoses and chronic medical conditions. I also have experience in helping individuals who have suffered from simple or complex Trauma.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a talk therapy in which we work together to overcome troubling situations or conditions in your life. Through treatment, you will become aware of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs about these issues. You will be taught to recognize and challenge thinking behavior and patterns that may be causing or complicating issues in your life. You will learn techniques such as relaxation skills, coping strategies, tolerance, resilience, stress management and assertiveness that will lead to improved emotions and mood.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a structured talk therapy that focuses on helping people with intense emotions by changing unhelpful thought patterns. You will be taught skills like mindfulness, acceptance & distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to deal with hard situations in your life. We will practice those skills through a series of lessons and you will apply those lessons and skills learned to your life, therefore, improving your mood and emotions.
Supportive
Supportive psychotherapy is a talk therapy that focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life or psychological challenges. You will have a safe and nonjudgmental environment to talk about your feelings, concerns, and problems. Through this process, we will reduce or eliminate the disruptive conditions in your life.
