About Patricia

She also addresses parenting, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Patricia works with clear, practical methods and focuses on what a person can do between sessions to feel steadier.

Patricia aims to keep sessions straightforward so parents can apply strategies at home and at work.
Patricia’s approach is collaborative. She listens to what is most urgent and then builds a plan together. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work in Minnesota settings. That experience shapes how she balances practical skill-building with time for people to tell their story. She emphasizes skills people can use right away to reduce stress and anxiety.
Parents who are worried about behavior, family conflict, or changes at home will find direct techniques and short-term tools. Patricia explains ideas in everyday language and focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions.
