About Patricia
Patricia uses a collaborative style. She treats each person as a partner and works together to set goals. She explains any methods she uses and checks in on progress along the way. Her questions are meant to help people see their situation differently and discover strengths they already have.
Her background includes work in both mental health and medical social work. Earlier in her career she worked with children, adolescents, and parents. Most of her recent clients have been adults facing depression, trauma, relationship strain, medical and health concerns, bereavement, and life transitions.
She has provided individual, couples, family, and group therapy across clinics and private practice settings. Patricia also has experience supporting adults receiving dialysis in outpatient clinics around Portland. That clinical variety informs her practical, adaptable way of working.
Patricia recognizes common barriers to getting help, such as stigma, scheduling, and finding the right fit. She aims to be flexible with scheduling and to make the steps into care easier for people who are ready to try therapy.
