My approach: 

 Life can throw unexpected challenges our way and it can feel overwhelming and hopeless at times. Healing and clarity are found in a safe, empathic environment. Patricia is honored to journey with clients in a collaborative, therapeutic relationship to explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences to discover the client’s strengths and find insight. She deeply values each person and joins clients wherever they are in their journey. Patricia strives to provide an open, respectful, and calm space that allows clients to fully express themselves and be understood. Patricia believes there is always hope and provides a narrative-driven and person-centered approach to help clients find meaning and peace. She practices from a Health At Every Size (HAES) model and works with adolescents and adults from all walks of life.

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
