About

I was inspired to become an OCD therapist by a family member with the condition. I understand the challenges that present with OCD, and I treat my members with great respect, sensitivity and compassion. OCD is very common, and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is a highly effective treatment. In our sessions, I will create a safe space for you to share your thoughts, feelings and concerns. You will be supported and your input valued through the entire therapy process. Beyond OCD, I specialize in treating anxiety and depressive disorders.

Patricia holds such a comforting and nonjudgmental space for myself. Starting ERP can be daunting, but she helps make it feel more relaxed and doable. I’m grateful!
