About Patricia
I'm a former public-school teacher, college advisor, and mom to a special needs child who is committed to helping clients learn how to overcome challenges in life. My focus is on individual, couples, and family therapy. I have extensive experience in chronic illness, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attachment disorders, and early developmental trauma. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. I'm passionate about obtaining professional training via AANE for children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with ASD. I enjoy gardening and cooking as a hobby. In my spare time, I volunteer with the rare disease population as a mentor and advocate.
