About Patsy
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what an individual needs, so conversations and plans are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Patsy emphasizes practical steps you can try between meetings to build confidence and forward momentum.
Patsy also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment questions, and divorce or separation. Other areas she addresses include isolation, life purpose, hospice and end-of-life topics, and multicultural concerns.
Her work draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person's perspective and values during the process. That means the therapist follows your lead and helps you clarify what matters most. The focus is on listening, building trust, and working together to find what helps you move forward.
Patsy aims to empower people to make changes they want. She will help you identify concrete options, set realistic steps, and notice small gains. To begin, she asks about your goals and tailors the approach to fit your situation.
