She is awesome. Always helps me when I'm at my lowest but also supports me when I'm doing well. Her insight and skill to pick up on things is out of this world. Best therapist I have ever had, hands down.

Patricia has been hands down the best therapist I’ve encountered (and I’ve had many). She’s very knowledgeable and has helped hold me accountable to healing in the ways I’ve wanted to and also has created many moments of clarity for me when I’ve been dealing with anxiety or relationship issues. I highly recommend her she has added much needed support in my life.

Very easy to talk to! Always very kind and professional, but also approachable! I knew from the first session that she would be fantastic to work with and she’s been nothing but great since!

Patricia is THE BEST! I connected with her right off the bat and have thoroughly enjoyed our discussions. She strikes a great balance of offering an understanding of your situation and asking thought provoking questions to get you to evaluate your thinking. I'm learning so much about myself and can't wait to learn more! I'd recommend Patricia to anyone and everyone. She's given me faith that therapy will work for me :)
