I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE ♡
I utilize an integrative, in-depth approach to therapy.
There are countless reasons why we seek therapy, and I understand how daunting it can be to figure out where to start, how to proceed, and who to trust. People often seek therapy because something doesn't feel quite right at the core. You might be struggling with depression or anxiety, feeling lost, stuck, or empty. Perhaps you need support navigating a specific challenge or a time of transition. Maybe you're looking for help with relationships, self-esteem, or finding relief from perfectionism. I'm genuinely glad you're here, and I want to support you in finding the kind of care that truly meets your wants and needs.
Hey! I’m Patricia.
Overwhelming experiences can hijack your life, leaving you feeling trapped and disconnected. As a therapist specializing in complex trauma, I'm passionate about guiding people through these dark places toward greater healing. My clients appreciate my grounded, direct approach and calm presence—my superpower! Together, we'll work towards feeling lighter, more connected, and more confident in daily life. This journey is about more than just surviving; it's about reclaiming your life and discovering new ways to thrive.
Working at the UCSF Department of Psychiatry deepened my commitment to holistic healing. I firmly believe there's no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy – I embrace an integrative approach that responds to your specific needs and goals.
My path wasn't straightforward; I started in design, business, and tech before finding my calling. As a child, I resisted therapy, not knowing how profoundly it would shape my life. Years later, facing my own traumas, I rediscovered its healing power. This journey from reluctant client to grateful participant revealed my true path. I bring not just training but a heart full of compassion born from personal experience. I'm here to walk alongside you, believing in the transformative power of this work. Together, we'll explore, heal, and grow, just as I have and continue to do.
I look forward to connecting with you.
