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.

Patricia is literally the best! I’ve been seeing her for about 3 months now, and she has helped me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. She makes me feel so comfortable, heard, and understood every time I meet with her. I’m so thankful for her guidance, encouragement, and the safe space she has created for me. I genuinely couldn’t recommend her enough!

Patricia is very sweet and supportive. I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable with her from the first session. She is constantly noting my progress and encouraging even the smallest of steps. I'm very grateful for all of her support!

Overall,
I had a very good experience with Patricia I felt heard and understood. She elaborated on what I was feeling and responded to all my questions. She asked me very clear questions if I didn’t understand she’ll go in depth in explaining. She’s been very helpful and supportive.
