Patty is a great listener and has a way of understanding what I'm saying even when I had no clue. She was always helpful with her suggestions of working through things that best suited the type person I am.

Patricia combines a wealth of real world experience and therapy based approaches when offering counseling services. The more information you can provide her, the more she can set a framework for success. With my treatments. She has adapted to my communication skills, to provide active listening and provide critical feedback as requested, and to look for the grey areas that are out of my vision.
