Patricia is a great listener. She supports you in a myriad of ways. Very intuitional, has a good sense of when to challenge and when to just listen. Patricia has specifically helped me immensely to love myself more and give myself more grace.

Patricia is a name I say about 5 times a day and that’s because she gives me such wonderful and helpful advice. Life is full with trials and tribulations and I don’t know how I would get them without Patricia. She has helped me improve and also has been an incredible friend to me. She holds me accountable and coddles me when I need it. She is more than a therapist and I recommend her 10/10.
