About Patrice
Patrice earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2010 and brings nine years of clinical experience. She has worked with children, adolescents, and individuals connected to family systems across schools and community settings. Her background includes helping people cope with grief, relationship conflict, trauma, behavioral concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. Patrice uses practical strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build skills and reduce distress. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques when helpful to manage intense emotions and improve focus.
Sessions emphasize collaboration. Patrice and each person develop a plan that fits the person’s needs and life situation. She focuses on clear tools, homework or practice between sessions when that helps, and steady progress toward the goals people bring to therapy.
People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through hard moments. Patrice’s areas of focus include family and parenting concerns, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, career stress, and identity matters including LGBT concerns.
