Whole-person Healing—Rooted in Science, Guided by Compassion

---

Patti helps you understand the root of your struggles by exploring early experiences, belief systems, stressors, and daily patterns. Unresolved developmental trauma can impact emotional and physical well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Using an integrative approach grounded in Adlerian Theory, Post-Induction Therapy, and developmental and relational trauma work, Patti supports meaningful insight and lasting change. Together, you’ll build healthy self-esteem, clear boundaries, and a greater sense of purpose and authenticity. Clarity, confidence, and steady change begin here.

In couples counseling, Patti creates a supportive, structured space where both partners feel seen and heard. Together, you’ll identify the patterns that keep you stuck and explore family-of-origin dynamics to build understanding and compassion.

Couples learn healthier communication skills and how to move from reactivity to repair. Whether you’re navigating conflict, healing after betrayal, or seeking deeper connection, this work supports a more secure, resilient, and loving partnership.

What you consume plays an important role in emotional well-being, energy, and overall health. Patti takes a mindful, non-judgmental approach to help you understand the connection between food, mood, and the nervous system. 

As a Professional Food Addiction Coach as well as therapist trained in Family of Origin, Patti can help you transform your relationship with food. 

Together, you’ll explore patterns, beliefs, and stress responses that influence how you nourish yourself, while identifying practical, sustainable shifts that support balance and vitality. 

Equine-Connected EMDR )EC-EMDR)

Patti is trained in Equine-Connected EMDR (EC-EMDR), a gentle, innovative approach that combines the healing presence of a horse with the proven effectiveness of EMDR therapy. The natural rhythm, movement, and regulation of the horse help clients stay grounded and supported while processing traumatic experiences.

EC-EMDR is especially helpful for individuals healing from trauma related to disrupted trust or safety, often bringing greater clarity, emotional release, and a sense of calm.

Equine-Assisted Therapy for Autistic Individuals.

Equine-Assisted Therapy provides a calming, supportive, and adaptable experience for individuals on the autism spectrum. Horses naturally help regulate the nervous system, promoting relaxation, focus, and emotional balance. Through rhythmic, multisensory movement, sessions support nervous system regulation while strengthening coordination, confidence, and emotional regulation. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to meet individual goals and needs.

Transforming Touch® Therapy is a gentle, body-based approach that supports healing from early developmental and attachment wounds. Developed by Dr. Stephen Terrell, this fully clothed therapy helps the nervous system move out of survival mode and into a state of safety and regulation.

Through light, supportive touch and attuned presence, the body is invited to settle and reconnect with a sense of safety—often beyond what words can reach. Over time, clients experience greater grounding, connection, and ease. This work doesn’t force change; it gently supports the body in remembering what safety feels like.

Raising a child on the autism spectrum can be both meaningful and overwhelming. Parents often balance therapies, appointments, and daily stress while trying to meet their child’s unique needs. Patti offers a compassionate, integrative approach—grounded in both personal and professional experience—to support families exactly where they are.

With a holistic view of autism wellness, Patti helps parents understand the connection between physical health, nutrition, and emotional well-being, while offering education on emerging treatments and trusted resources. Just as importantly, she supports the entire family system—creating space for caregivers, strengthening connections, and addressing the emotional needs of parents and siblings.
