By creating a safe and nurturing environment, she guides individuals to explore these emotions, ultimately fostering a sense of belonging and personal growth. Through her holistic approach and various therapeutic methods—including Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Coaching, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—Patricia empowers clients to embark on a healing journey.
