Spring is a time for renewal and what better time to focus on renewing yourself and your life! In my 16 years as a therapist, I've supported many clients to take a new look at their life and to move toward that renewal. While therapy might feel scary at first, my training and support will make it less so. I can teach you skills through therapies including DBT and EMDR that will allow you to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and more. Your life doesn't have to feel out of control or difficult to manage. I'm here to help. Allow me to walk with you as we work together toward building the healthier life you want and deserve!

Evidence-Based Practices are great Words. Real life takes adaptation, acceptance, and attunement. Most people come to therapy not out of brokenness, but because they are stuck on the Map of Life, in a cul-de-sac. Patti is able to meet online, or in person in Slavic Village and Barnesville. Partnering with LGBTQIA, Prescribers, and Recovery supports to help patients connect with care for their healthiest self.

Picking a therapist while scrolling through a long list can be intimidating so knowing as much as you can ahead of time may help. A little about me: I have been licensed in Ohio since 2002. I graduated with my bachelor's degree from Ohio University in Athens and my master's from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I truly love what I do! I understand how hard it may be to take that initial step to reach out for help. I will support you in the therapeutic process. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
