She extends her expertise to parents seeking understanding and support in enhancing their children’s behaviors through psychoeducation and attachment-focused methods. With experience in helping individuals with bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD, Patricia collaboratively guides clients in developing coping skills, practicing mindfulness, managing symptoms, and processing trauma. She firmly believes in the transformative power of therapy, nurturing each client’s journey with personalized attention, empowerment, and steadfast support towards improved mental wellbeing.

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
I currently accept the following insurance:
Blue Cross Blue Shield
United Health Care
Aetna
Optum
Oxford
Cigna
Private pay rates on a sliding scale are also available
Everyone should be able to get to help when they need it. Despite their insurance. If a client has insurance, their insurance and copay is billed at the end of each session. I bill the insurance company for the client and the copays are billed to the client's credit/debit card. If a client does not have insurance, I encourage them to contact for a free 15 minute consultation, so we can determine your out of pocket expense based on a sliding scale. I will make it as affordable as possible, so you can get the help you need.

She was really friendly. I was nervous about trying emdr but she talked me through it and let me take it at my own pace. I've been to a few counselors/therapists and she's one I feel like I can really talk to.
