Therapist

I have found therapy to be the place for the client and the counselor to laugh, cry, decide, and embrace the sacred space of change and acceptance in one’s life. I have served in pastoral ministry for eighteen years along with five years as a clinical counselor. I feel that I bring a pastor’s heart of empathy, patience, and compassion into my therapeutic work. I do enjoy serving clients with varied needs and of all faiths.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I’m a dual Board-Certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can openly share your story and begin your journey toward emotional balance and well-being.

I bring both medical and mental health expertise to my work, allowing me to understand how physical and emotional health are deeply connected. I strive to meet each person where they are — with empathy, respect, and collaboration — while helping them move toward lasting change and inner peace. Outside of mental healthcare, I enjoy working out, yoga classes and nature photography.

Therapist

Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.
