Hi there, I'm Pattie!

I provide services for adults, adolescents/pre-teens (10 and up), children 8 and up, and families. I work with individuals navigating emotional and behavioral challenges, family dynamics, and life transitions.

My focus

I specialize in emotional/behavioral challenges, family and parenting differences, anxiety, depression, and substance use within the family. I am willing to see individuals, families, and minors (13-17).

My approach

In my practice, effective therapy requires connection and trust between therapist and client. With established trust, we can work together to forge your path with a toolbox of skills along the way. Our sessions will always be at your desired pace and comfort level.

My communication style

I can help identify barriers to learning and behavior and provide strategies to enhance lives at home, school, work, and in interpersonal relationships. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.

My journey to mental healthcare

Through my experience in public education, I am equipped to assist parents as they navigate their child's barriers in school. I focus on my private practice supporting individuals and families through life's challenges.

My goals for you

My goals for you are to identify any barriers to your well-being and provide you with a toolbox of skills and strategies to enhance your life at home, school, work, and in your relationships. I aim to guide you on your path while moving at your desired pace and comfort level.

Our first session

In our first session, we will focus on building connection and trust, which I believe are essential for effective therapy. I want to understand your needs, challenges, and goals so we can begin to map out a plan that works for you.
