About Patricia
She trained in psychology and completed a master's in clinical mental health counseling at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. Much of her work has involved supporting people affected by trauma, domestic violence, addictions, and the complicated dynamics that come from blended families and military life. Her experience includes addressing sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and co-occurring concerns such as bipolar symptoms and substance use.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical skills. Patricia uses client-centered conversations to learn what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness strategies are used when people need emotion regulation tools and grounding practices.
Patricia aims to help people build clearer communication, better boundaries, and routines that support daily functioning. She works with issues around intimacy, codependency, abandonment, and family of origin struggles. For those facing career strain or major life changes, she focuses on realistic steps to regain stability and hope.
