I work with both couples and individuals who are struggling with relationships, communication, identity, and trauma. My work with couples includes a focus on understanding relationship dynamics and getting to the "heart" of the issue. My work with individuals includes trauma-informed practice and helping individuals to develop insight and engage both their internal and external resources. I aim to support clients who want to explore depth and move toward softening toward themselves and, for couples, their partner.

Whether you are struggling with mental health issues, your identity, or just need someone to talk to, I believe help should be non-judgmental and accessible to everyone. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, high school and college students, people of all spiritual or religious beliefs (including people without religious beliefs), and self-identified “people-pleasers.”

Hello! I'm Patricia. Thank you for visiting my profile. Grief enters our lives uninvited and its impact can continue to effect us for years. It may have been the death of a loved one, either recent or long ago. It may have been a divorce or the break up of a romantic relationship. It may have been the loss of a treasured pet, or any of the more than forty other losses that a person can encounter in a lifetime. Regardless of the cause of your broken heart, you know that life is not as happy or fulfilling as you want it to be.

As a licensed counselor, I am committed to providing quality counseling services to the East TN community and Tennessee virtually. I have been licensed in Tennessee since 2015. I have worked in mental health since 2008. I had the wonderful opportunity from 2012-2016 to work under a licensed psychologist learning the ins and outs of a holistic approach of person centered therapy. Starting in 2016 I opened my own private practice and have been serving solely in that capacity since 2016. I offer faith based services only when asked to do so. I accept people from all walks of life and believe that everyone deserves dignity and respect.

Life can be stressful, and even oftentimes overwhelming. Stressors and trauma can impact our lives in many ways, negatively contributing to our physical and emotional health. I believe the mind has the innate capacity to heal. Therapy can provide the key to unlocking our own power to make positive changes, improving how we respond to life's challenges. The process of change and emotional growth is one that starts with the initial step of reaching out. Therapy can provide a safe, confidential, judgement free environment to explore how to manage stress and live life fully.
