I really appreciate Patricia and her expertise on most items we discuss. She is a great listener and really tries to help you. I have grown so much over the past year and a half I have been working with her. She has been a Godsend to my life.

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.

Patricia is wonderful! She helped us so much. She’s very patient and such a good listener. She takes excellent notes to bring up details you’ve shared before or readdress something is needed. She’s also great about being even when it comes to how she responded to each of us. I felt like she was there for both my husband and I and that it wasn’t one sided. We are doing so much better and able to communicate more than we did before. We are so thankful for her help and advice.
