About Patricia

With over 20 years of experience in treating trauma and mood disorders, I use a range of therapeutic approaches, including DBT, IFS, EMDR, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, and psychodynamic treatments, to guide clients through their healing journey. I specialize in helping people of all ages, from toddlers to elders working through trauma and identity issues. I also have specialized training in working with addiction. I believe in the intrinsic strength of individuals and families to heal and thrive, tailoring my approach to ensure that clients thrive within their communities. My therapy offers a path to transformation, peace, resilience, and healthy connections with loved ones. My professional background includes extensive experience resolving past trauma, and my holistic approach integrates the latest findings in the field. Beyond therapy, I love hanging out with my cat and family, love science fiction, art, literature and nature.
