Her practice blends compassionate, holistic care with evidence-informed techniques drawn from extensive experience with diverse populations. She offers focused support for women, veterans, and blended families navigating commitment concerns, communication breakdowns, family-of-origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of infidelity. Patricia helps clients develop healthier emotional patterns and stronger relational skills while tending to the personal growth needed after loss or trauma.

Influenced by a Christian-informed perspective, she creates a reflective space for exploring spiritual values alongside emotional healing, especially when clients seek reconciliation, forgiveness, or moral integration. Patricia approaches therapy collaboratively, emphasizing empathy, safety, and practical strategies to build resilience. She is based in Indiana and is not currently accepting new clients.

Emotionally-Focused and Trauma-Informed Online Support

Patricia integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients and couples identify and reshape patterns in their emotional connections. EFT focuses on understanding attachment needs and improving emotional responsiveness, which is useful for relationship distress, intimacy concerns, and attachment issues. The Gottman Method is used to strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust through practical exercises and research-based interventions designed for couples facing recurring arguments, infidelity, or commitment challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured strategies to address the effects of past trauma and abuse, helping clients process painful memories, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and restore a sense of safety and empowerment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and encourages open dialogue about what is helping and what might need to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats increase flexibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints, and they make it easier to maintain consistency in care across life transitions.
