Hello, my name is Patricia. My practice is compassionate and client-centered, dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, grieving, stuck, or simply in need of someone to talk to, I offer a supportive and welcoming space where you can explore your concerns, work through what is currently happening in your life, heal from past experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping.
Life can be challenging at times, and you do not have to face it alone. Using evidence-based approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to support personal growth, emotional balance, and meaningful change. Together, we will explore what you are experiencing and identify ways to help you feel more grounded, understood, and empowered, more like yourself.
I bring seven years of experience supporting youth within the public school system and eleven years of experience working in government. I have since expanded my practice to offer counselling services for individuals of all ages. If you’re ready to take that first step, please reach out.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and work together to decide the best ways to support your progress. With CBT, we'll explore how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. Throughout treatment, I'll guide you in learning strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier ways
