“It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act.”- Dalai Lama

My name is Patricia. I’m glad you’re here.

What I do

I’m a psychotherapist providing online therapy to adults in Pennsylvania. I specialize in trauma-specific modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

But enough about me, this is about YOU. Many of us have had at least one very difficult or even traumatic experience that may be holding us back, causing us to live smaller than we want, or just feel “stuck.” If that sounds like something you’re facing, you’re not alone – and you don’t have to stay there.

In our work together, I’ll provide a safe, judgement free space so that you can begin the journey of healing and transformation, and explore a new place where you feel more empowered and engaged in life again. I’m here to support you, and help you get on your way.

New to therapy? Here’s a quick rundown:

While I am able to provide specific therapeutic services such as EMDR, CPT and CBT, we will always be talking about what is appropriate for you and what aligns with your goals. Many of us seek therapy for various reasons – life transitions, grief, stress management, depression – anything, really! It’s absolutely ok if you don’t know where to start or what these particular therapies are, because we can talk about all of that in a consultation. But if you’d like a quick overview in advance, here’s a good place to start:

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing

CPT

My Story

Growing up, I always found my fire and heart light up when I was becoming involved in activism, human rights issues, women’s rights causes, and helping people.

What some might call obsession, I call passion – and it’s that spirit of effecting change that has taken me through any volunteer positions in organizations that assist and empower women, my work in mental health centers, and my own women-focused projects.
