Patricia works with mood concerns such as seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, and broader mood disorders.

For people affected by military life, she lists Veteran and Armed Forces Issues among her focus areas and offers support around related stress and transitions. She also helps people explore life purpose, forgiveness, and growing self-love.

Patricia emphasizes a warm, genuine manner and aims to meet people where they are.
