About Patricia
She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's situation. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clear goals rather than jargon. Patricia emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels possible and real.
Her background includes two decades of clinical practice in New Jersey and New York as an LCSW, working with trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and intense emotions like guilt and shame. That experience informs how she responds to crises and high-emotion moments in session.
Patricia pays attention to how isolation and loneliness amplify problems. She helps people rebuild connections and develop healthier patterns in relationships. Forgiveness and repairing self-blame are common threads in her work.
When anger is part of the picture, she focuses on learning what drives it and on practical tools to reduce its harm. The work includes identifying triggers, practicing new responses, and strengthening coping skills. Patricia supports people who want steadier emotional control and better relationship outcomes.
