Patricia specializes in utilizing the therapeutic powers of play to foster emotional healing and personal growth with a particular interest in evidence-based Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for young children. Through creative and child-centered techniques, Patricia creates a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore their feelings, develop problem-solving skills, and build resilience. This approach combines evidence-based practices with genuine empathy and understanding of childhood development. Dedicated to empowering children and their families, Patricia works collaboratively to address issues such as anxiety, trauma, behavioral concerns, and family transitions. Patricia is committed to helping children discover their potential and thrive, one playful step at a time.

After being a stay-at-home mom and then teaching preschool for several years, Patricia discovered her natural fit for counseling and returned to the University where she earned her counseling degree. She previously earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology, while also serving as a research
assistant in childhood aggression and bullying studies.

As a Christian counselor, Patricia values all people and respects perspectives from different backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs. In her work with children, adolescents, and their families, she believes that a trusting therapeutic relationship provides a safe place to explore inner experiences which can foster growth and facilitate healing and change. Patricia and her husband, Chad, have been married 28+ years and have two young adult sons.

Patricia delights in quiet time reading and spending time with her family and friends. She enjoys great food, kayaking, bicycling, traveling, sailing, and taking long walks with her two adorable Yorkie pups, Pepper and Jack.
