Hi there, I'm Patricia!

Hello, I am here to support your growth in relationships as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I utilize Cognitive Therapy for clients who need to recover from depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy is my general approach to providing therapy. I’ve been licensed since 2005. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

My approach

I approach therapy using Client-Centered, Cognitive, and Psychodynamic Therapy. If the situation calls for Solution Focused Therapy, that’s an option, too. I use an eclectic approach to therapy to help my clients progress with their therapy goals.

My focus

I work with motivated clients to improve their functioning and relationships.

My communication style

I do more listening than talking, but I do provide clinical interventions. Therapy is for you to hear yourself talking out loud to figure out how you want to move forward in your life. If there’s a safety issue, I will become directive; otherwise, I’m here to support you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve benefited from therapy myself, so I know it works. However much effort you put into therapy is what you will get out of it. I respect wherever my clients are in their process of growth and change for the better.

My goals for you

Successful care and progress for my clients look like they are able to improve their communication and relationships with others. They don’t require therapy forever because they develop skills to manage their own lives.

My first session with you

There’s an intake during the first session in which I get to know you, and we identify what goals you’d like to work on.
