My Approach
Patricia is determined to help her patients improve upon their lifestyle by becoming more content, accepting of themselves and their experiences. It is her belief that this happens through the therapeutic relationship she creates with her patients and continues to nurture over time. When a patient chooses Patricia as their therapist they can count on being understood, heard and supported. Patricia's goal for each of her patients is for them to feel hopeful and to know lifestyle improvements are inevitable. She feels there is no situation that should result in one having to feel helpless. The therapeutic relationships she has developed with patients are the highlights of her life and those of the lives she has touched.
