About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 16 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or exhausted from carrying too much for too long.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and use approaches such as EMDR, attachment-based work, and nervous system regulation to help you move beyond insight and create real change. My style is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I will help you identify patterns, understand where they come from, and build practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally steady.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and make meaningful shifts in your life and relationships, I’m here to walk that process with you.

There are really no words when you find somebody who has had - and lives - the same experiences you have. And when you combine the knowledge and revelation of those experiences with gentleness and compassion ...
Possibilities bloom.

A person can bloom.

And that is what Patricia has done for me.
