Meet Patricia

I specialize in helping adults overcome anxiety and trauma. If you are struggling with anxiety, panic, or feeling stuck in the past due to trauma, I can help. If anxiety is affecting work, school, or relationships it may be time to seek help. If you are struggling with sleep or eating issues it may also be a sign to get some support with your mental health. When you work with me I spend time getting to know you and your goals. I ask you to think about where you would like to be in 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months from the day we start. I use evidence-based practices for anxiety such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I tailor these approaches to your specific needs.

When you work with me I spend time getting to know you and your goals.
