About
I have been working in the mental health field for 19 years. I have experience in working with many clients through my private practice and staffing an intensive personal growth 7-day workshop, groups and individual/family sessions. I specialize in family dynamics, conflict resolution, self-worth, self-esteem, addictions, recovery, career issues and motivation, behavior patterns, communication skills, and relationships. I have worked in in-patient mental health, eating disorder and drug and alcohol facilities, facilitating a trauma program at the ED and drug and alcohol treatment centers. I am intuitive in assessing my clients issues and have a skill set in helping them obtain goals and having sustainable results.
I enjoy guiding clients to push through their fears and find healing and freedom from what keeps them stuck or in repetitive unhealthy patterns.
I receive many rewards from my clients when they find themselves and the freedom and life they deserve.

Patti was able to see right away what some of our issues were. Patti then recommended some exercises (Homework) that we needed to practice to begin working through our issues.
