Family Life-Cycle Changes

Many changes occur in the life cycle of a family — from births to deaths, from children leaving home to parents aging. Although these stages are expected, they are not always smooth. Difficulties can arise from all of them: postpartum depression, teenage angst, parent and couple stress, and grief.

Whether you're a new parent feeling overwhelmed, a parent navigating an empty nest, or someone processing the loss of a loved one, Patty provides a compassionate, skilled space to work through these transitions and find your footing.

Relationship Break-Ups

Forever is not the case in approximately 50% of marriages — and significant other relationships are no different. When you've built a life around someone — shared hopes, dreams, a home, children, friends — and it comes apart, there is often a great deal of difficulty getting through the break-up.

Garnishing support and being able to sort through the pieces will help you move forward. Patty helps you process the grief, reorganize your sense of self, and chart a confident path into your next chapter.

Retirement Transitions

After a lifetime of work and career, facing retirement can be exciting, scary, and anxiety-provoking all at once. Your identity, your daily structure, and your sense of purpose may all feel up in the air. Making plans, exploring new options and possibilities, and addressing financial peace of mind can all be helpful to get through this transition.

Patty helps you define what a fulfilling retirement looks like for you specifically — and create a meaningful, forward-looking plan to get there.

Career & Job Changes

Changing jobs or careers can be both exciting and anxiety-provoking — no matter your age or reason for the change. Having an objective ear to hear you out and help you find the right path can be powerful and confidence-building.

Whether you're just starting out, pivoting after years in one field, or returning to work after time away, Patty helps you clarify your strengths, navigate uncertainty, and approach your next role with conviction.

Anxiety & Depression

These two emotions often go hand in hand and are frequently caused by other life adjustments and issues. Reviewing your emotional history and helping you become more aware of your own process will help you reach a positive result — and hopefully feel more empowered for the future.

Patty combines her skills as a licensed therapist with practical life coaching tools to help you understand the roots of your anxiety or depression, develop healthier patterns, and build lasting resilience.

Weight Loss Support

When one is dealing with weight and food issues, support is especially needed. The pain and secrets that surround this area are very real — and having a compassionate, non-judgmental professional to guide you can give you the confidence and power you need to succeed.

Patty addresses the emotional and psychological dimensions of weight — the relationship with food, the self-image, and the deeper patterns that make change difficult — so you can move forward in a sustainable way.

Health Changes

Health changes can be some of the toughest transitions anyone faces. They may come slowly or quickly, and you may feel completely unprepared emotionally — whether it's a loved one or you personally. The challenge may be short-term, or it may be a long-term adjustment that one needs to adapt to. Absorbing the impact is none the less a major adjustment.

Patty helps you process the emotional weight of health challenges, find new ways to adapt, and maintain a sense of hope, agency, and quality of life through the journey.
