Hi there, I'm Patricia!

I'm guessing you're in pain, struggling, or feeling vulnerable. I hope to support you compassionately and provide a place where you can process your feelings and experiences, learn new information about yourself, and practice healthier skills when navigating life stressors.

My focus

I support those with LGBTQ+ identities, including gender identity, and write letters for gender confirmation surgeries. I work with people struggling with relationship issues, codependency, trauma, depression, anxiety, and panic disorders. I'm passionate about working with trauma survivors, the LGBTQ community, artists, and creatives.

My approach

Therapy can be a transformative experience of acknowledging the Self and finding a higher level of functioning. The relationship between therapist and client facilitates gentle and foundational changes aiming to discard dysfunctional coping skills and acquire healthier tools for living.
