Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois, with over 20 years of therapy experience and a lifetime of wisdom to draw from, which is invaluable!
I accept Live video, phone and chat sessions.
I can offer clients a holistic psychotherapeutic approach using person-centered, solution-focused therapy. I work with adult women, men, and couples; LGBTQ welcome. Recovery & Addictions; Depression and Anxiety issues, self-identity and self-respect lifestyles, relationships, and other interpersonal situations.
Witnessing the effects of suicide, I support the Prevention of Suicide through education and talking about suicide openly with all age groups.
In working with clients and their families, I have discovered several techniques to address resistance and opposition towards change. Through the use of an eclectic approach utilizing CBT, Person-Centered, and Mindfulness, I identify and focus on maladaptive coping skills and gear therapy toward the development of new healthy and effective ways of dealing with life issues.

Pat is very fun, and I'm glad to connect with her on different topics. Her modality is very solution based, so that may not be what everyone is looking for in their therapist. But I really appreciate her input on my journals and messages, and I look forward to continuing services with her to manage my bipolar II symptoms.
