Hello, and thank you for coming to my website.

Sign up here NOW to get some early free gifts and to learn more about the Fear to Love to Grace Summit  and the virtual launch party on February 4, 2020 for my memoir: Letters to Freedom: From Fear to Love to Grace.

I am grateful to be able to help people learn how to live their best life. The experiences I have had in my life of love and loss and grace have taught me many things, and I love sharing the insights I have learned from them with you through my work as an author, psychotherapist, speaker, and authenticity architect.

I’d love to help you step more fully into your authentic life.

If you are grieving the loss of someone or something you love, I can help you find healing and navigate the arduous task of grief.

If you are a mother, I can help you better learn how to mother yourself and your child(ren).

And…if you are feeling stressed or sad, I can help you to uncover the many layers of not feeling good-enough, and discover a more genuine experience of self-compassion and joy.

After 35+ years of working with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with life’s challenges, I have found that the true goal lies in finding the hidden treasure deep inside yourself. Your light may feel like it has gone out, but there is always an ember burning underneath, longing to be reignited. In order to do this, I have created a unique psychotherapy approach that I call Authenticity Architecture, designed to help you thrive, not merely survive, and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!

Contact me today to start your journey of reconstructing your authentic self.

“Thank you for showing me that I don’t have to live life stressed and pleasing people, and that I can do what I want with my life and it’s okay. Stopping the impossible people pleasing cycle and saying ‘you are exactly where you need to be’ and giving myself a lot of grace. I am a much stronger woman because of you.” Kate, photographer and mother of two elementary age children

“It’s not overkill to say: I would not be where I am today without you. You encouraged me not to settle for a job that I didn’t really want, and instead just do what I love! Freeing myself to just be an activist and trust in the universe was all your influence, and I am deeply grateful. You taught me how to hold some badass boundaries. People expect women to say ‘yes’ even when we want to say ‘no’, because we always have. Not on Patti’s watch!” Rachel, activist and mother of three teenagers

And most important of all, she gives us reason to continue loving with our whole heart.” Sandra Felt, LCSW, and author of Beyond the Good-Girl Jail
