“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs and becoming who you are.” – Rachel Naomi Remen

Who Am I

In my therapeutic work, I help clients recognize and follow the subtle cues present in their life experiences, inner voices, emotions, and the messages within their bodies. Using mindfulness and a somatic approach, I support the development of a strong mind-body connection, which offers valuable insights into their inner truth and guidance through life’s challenges. Additionally, I incorporate parts work and intuitive explorations to address and navigate areas where clients may feel stuck.

More About Me

From an early age, challenging life events taught me to suppress my true feelings and adapt to the expectations of those around me as a means of staying safe. For a time, this strategy seemed effective, and I built a life around this way of being. However, the persona I presented to the world rarely aligned with my inner experience. Over time, this disconnection and masking of my true self led to intense social anxiety, depression, and struggles with substance abuse.
Eventually, the inner pain became unbearable, and I reached a breaking point. I realized I could no longer continue living as I had been. Perhaps you’re currently feeling something similar? At this critical juncture, I began to sense a spiritual pull of something greater inviting me towards change and I decided to follow it. I was guided to release both my business and a long-term relationship that hadn’t been in alignment for me, and I set out on a journey of self-discovery through travel.

During my travels, I committed to listening to my heart and paying attention to what Life, my experiences, and the whispers of Spirit were teaching me. I came to recognize these experiences as profound teachers, guiding me back to wholeness and a healthier way of living.

This path has since led me to become an Intuitive Life Coach, participate in Men’s Work for over seven years, and to become a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) through the Orca Institute. Through this transformative journey, I have cultivated a deep relationship with Life, Spirit, and Healing. Today, I feel profoundly grateful to accompany others on their unique paths of healing and self-discovery.

My Beliefs on Healing and Therapy
I believe every individual has something unique and valuable to offer the world. By embarking on a healing journey, we can reconnect with our essence and the gifts we are here to share. I hold an unwavering belief in each person’s inherent worth and capacity for growth.

I also believe that we all have access to an inner force, a guiding presence that continually leads us toward well-being. By developing a relationship with this force, we can begin to experience life in a profoundly new and fulfilling way.

In my therapeutic work, I help clients recognize and follow the subtle cues present in their life experiences, inner voices, emotions, and the messages within their bodies. Using mindfulness and a somatic approach, I support the development of a strong mind-body connection, which offers valuable insights into their inner truth and guidance through life’s challenges. Additionally, I incorporate parts work (IFS) and intuitive explorations to address and navigate areas where clients may feel stuck.

Together, we explore all emotions and the deeper messages they carry. My approach is rooted in compassion and care, trusting that all that’s arising within serves a meaningful purpose. I am dedicated to celebrating each client’s innate wisdom and supporting their unique journey toward healing and wholeness.

Real Stories from Patty’s Clients

"I’ve been receiving support from Patty for the past two years and my experience has been so healing and supportive. Patty has a way of meeting me with both compassion and humour that help the therapeutic experience feel playful as well as really meeting my heart with tenderness and attunement. He helps guide me into reflections that are so supportive, but I never feel pushed or pressured in any way. I genuinely always feel better after our sessions. He is also great at helping me see my blind spots and helping me rewrite unhelpful narratives/judgements about myself. All in all he’s a great therapist!"

"Choosing to work with Patty was a really easy choice. Patty was able to convey an overwhelming sense of calm over video chat during our consult, and our in person session was equally pleasant. His approach cultivates a sense of safety and it seems to come naturally for him to help me to feel heard, respected and valued. Our interactions have felt relaxed, and the somatic strategies that he’s demonstrated have been practical and effective. "
