About Pat

I am currently completing my Masters in Psychotherapy and Spirituality, integrating my passion for
whole-person, nature-informed healing.

I understand life can be complex - and we don’t need to navigate it alone! I offer a warm, relational,
space grounded in compassion. Here, you’re invited to explore your experiences, uncover
meaningful next steps, and grow to be more grounded, authentic, and connected.

My training and experience is integrative, including different approaches that most fit your specific
needs. Some of these include mindfulness, mind-body approaches, narrative therapy, nature
informed therapy, and spiritually integrated methods. My personal experience and background in
specialties such as grief, trauma recovery, depression and burn out helps me to meet clients with
compassion, understanding and wisdom.

I love being outdoors in nature. There I experience a web of relationships, echoing for me the
importance of creating healthy relations with ourselves and others, impacting the wider world. I
take this central value into my work with each client, discovering together what it means to grow to
be more integrated and whole.

More About Pat

I have both lived and worked with individuals from a wide variety of cultures, abilities, ages,
backgrounds and life passions, all of which have expanded my outer view and inner lens. Most recently, my partner and I have lived in the Netherlands, further expanding my worldview.

I enjoy letting my creative muse loose, getting lost in my kitchen and garden, and building
community.

I have been described as intuitive, genuine, integrated, creative, and committed to my own growth journey. Many who know me are not surprised I am a therapist in training, some saying it’s an
innate part of who I am.
