We can all benefit from someone to help us navigate the expected and unexpected events life brings us as we transition from one life stage to the next or the challenges involved in moving to a new place. I will help you negotiate those transitions and moves, including the stress and emotional turmoil they may bring. If you are an individual or a couple finding transitioning into a new life stage, a new career or a new living arrangement stressful or confusing, I am here to walk with you down the path of negotiating these changes and processes.

I’m Kerry and I'm glad you are here. Many people seek therapy to better understand themselves and their emotions. Navigating trauma, abuse, emotional neglect, and grief can be lonely, confusing, and hard to do alone. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to companion you and guide you on your healing journey. Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself — it’s about understanding your story, honoring all parts of you, and finding inner harmony and security.

I am a bilingual (English/ Spanish) therapist specializing in trauma including sexual abuse, interpersonal therapy, solution-oriented and strengths-based focused therapy.
Asking for support can be a challenging and important way to honor yourself and your needs. Let’s build on that courage, curiosity for change and motivation. I believe change is possible and trust - with your therapist, with yourself and your loved ones - can be a key part of healing. For many people, trauma, anxiety and/or depression can impede connecting and living fully. Experiences of loneliness, burnout and hopelessness can be overpowering. I want therapy to be a space where you can express yourself and feel empowered and grounded. We can balance between time to use coping skills and space for reflection or exploration.

The key to successful therapy is a relationship with a caring, nonjudgmental therapist there to respond sensitively and patiently to whatever comes up. In my work, I offer that to my clients, as we collaborate in developing an understanding of your emotional states and how they drive your thoughts and actions. We’ll learn together what you need to strengthen and grow. My work with children and adolescents informs my understanding of development over the life span, and how those relationships and experiences that shape us are alive in the present moment.

If life is so much better when shared with someone, why does having a loving and healthy relationship sometimes seem so hard? The more you try to make things better, the worse it gets. Any cry for help only leads to more distance, more conflict. You live with your frustration and hope that change will come but nothing happens. You’ve felt the pull of hopelessness, isolation is not an option, and you’ve run out of the usual coping strategies. As a Certified Emotionally Focused therapist, my goal is to help you find your way out of the maze and create stronger and healthier relationships with your loved one(s).

If not NOW then when? Are you tired of just surviving? Are you exhausted from not finding a solid footing while having things you thought would make you happy? Is life endless cosplay? I support high-achievers in pressured settings that juggle success with silent struggles—anxious thoughts, burnout, self-doubt, or trauma they’ve learned to hide well. They crave clarity and meaningful success. They are tired of "powering through." They want tools that work, not just talk therapy. In our work together, we focus on developing emotional agility, creating sustainable strategies, and releasing what is no longer theirs to carry.

As a therapist, my clearest purpose is to help clients to alleviate debilitating symptoms of anxiety, depression and confusion. We do that in two major ways: one, finding the sources of the symptom and exploring the origins together and two, treating the symptoms with personally tailored, evidence-based interventions. As we participate in the treasure hunt of therapy, we battle pirates, feel the rain on our faces and build new structures for shelter along the way. Imagine building a map together where X marks the spot. What is your X? If you don't know, let's find out together.

Hi, I’m Patricia. I’m a trauma therapist who specializes in working with immigrants, adult children of immigrants, and survivors of childhood trauma. As a bilingual, bicultural therapist, I understand the complexity of navigating identity, belonging, and intergenerational patterns. My approach is trauma-informed, gentle, and rooted in deep emotional attunement. Colleagues describe my style as calm, steady, and grounded in “quiet wisdom.” I believe healing doesn’t have to be fast or forceful. Slow, thoughtful work can be just as transformative.
