About Patricia

Her work focuses on common and recurring problems people bring to therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, sleep problems, and career strain.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills practice, and real-life problem solving.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, family of origin problems, codependency, and trauma and abuse.

BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions practice specific skills to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood conditions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and personal bonds. It helps people understand and shift how they respond in close connections and in their own emotional life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and everyday pressures and then recommend or combine methods. This is a collaborative process where adjustments happen as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to pick session lengths and timing that match your routine.
