I am seeking to support clients being seen in a world that does not always validate one's existence. I hope to be a helpful guide in the journey of life to help clients notice the innate wisdom that already exists within themselves.

I became a therapist after working for many years in business and finance. I was fortunate to then complete a master's and subsequently a doctoral program in Psychology. This professional and academic experience supports the therapy I've been providing for over a decade. By connecting academic theories with my clients' real-life situations and an empathic and thoughtful style, I seek to help clients understand themselves better while supporting their movement forward in positive directions.

I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals struggling with emotional, relational, and behavioral issues. My goal is to help everyone identify, understand, and cope better with how they may think, feel, and behave. I make a conscious effort of providing a safe and trusting environment. Sessions often address past experiences and current stress, with the intent to help navigate and manage life situations. Problem solving, insight development and the application of coping strategies, are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques I commonly use to help resolve internal conflicts.

I'm passionate about being a therapist and believe that the therapeutic process is instrumental in helping clients address and navigate difficult life experiences. Through a collaborative, strengths-based approach, clients identify places where they feel stuck and learn and practice skills that support their therapy goals. I believe in making therapy both accessible and enjoyable so that clients walk away with an understanding of the challenges they face and a readiness to embrace a more fulfilled life.

We all juggle many elements in everyday life which can become challenging and overwhelming in ways that lead to hardships or ailments in the form of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have years of experience helping couples, families, adolescents, and adults find strength within and build upon their own resilience and overcome emotional, mental, and relationship challenges. I'm also experienced working with cultural awareness, first and second generational children of immigrant parents.

Hi! I’m Pati, and I’m so glad you're here seeking support. I offer help for families looking to improve their home environments, and support to kids and young adults struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). My clients often face the burden of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that affect their daily lives. Even if they appear fine on the outside, the persistent anxiety, obsessions, or rituals impact their relationships, school, or work. I use effective evidence-based treatments like ERP, with great success in providing relief and offering hope for an easier future.

I specialize in assisting adults who grapple with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and more. My patients are often intelligent, hard-working individuals with a strong sense of perfectionism and a natural propensity for putting others before themselves. My role as a therapist is to assist people in uncovering the parts of themselves that may have been obscured by trauma, societal conditioning, and fear. In this process, I provide patients with education and help them understand the "why" behind their behaviors. This knowledge can be a powerful catalyst for change and personal growth.

Do you feel disconnected, lonely, and unfulfilled by the 9 to 5 and staring at a screen? Is it hard to focus, decide what you want, and make your dreams happen? Do you know that life could be better, but don’t know how to get there? More than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future due to personal struggles, as well as global concerns, such as climate change, politics, or other social issues. Even with so much out of our control, I believe you have the power within to create positive growth and change.

Navigating challenges around sex involves more than what happens between the sheets. Sex is a topic that is often met with secrecy, embarrassment, or shame and is shaped by cultural norms and societal expectations. These influences can impact our perception of what's deemed acceptable or “normal”. When issues arise, the fear of judgment often keeps us silent, trapped in a state of quiet desperation rather than seeking help. I am committed to creating a secure and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their sexuality, reshape it according to their desires, and affirm their true selves.

I'm a therapist because therapy saved my life. Through that lived experience, and with education and training, I help clients improve relationships with themselves and others, exploring a variety of topics like trauma, gender, people-pleasing, OCD, boundaries, and perfectionism. My clients are thoughtful folks who have done the best they can on their own and are looking for additional support. They seek to expand their perspective, to feel differently in the world, and want lasting change. Together we'll create that change, and I firmly believe in your inherent worth, power, and self-determination to facilitate the shift you seek.

Interventions I regularly use in my practice are: DBT, CBT, ACT, stages of change, and the mind and body connection.
Looking for a therapist can be a daunting experience. No matter where you are in your search it is important to find the person you can trust, be vulnerable with, and who meets your needs. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches because progress is a journey and those needs will change along the way. My style of therapy is direct, honest, and compassionate. But I also appreciate the importance of humor.
