Licensed Professional Counselor, CSAC-S | Founder & Executive Director of Mental Health Services

Founder & Executive Director of Mental Health Services Welcome to Soar & Rest Outpatient Addiction and Mental Health Services! Are you looking for a safe space where you can be truly heard—without fear of judgment? Soar & Rest is that place. We’re here to help you heal, restore, and grow by empowering you to navigate feelings of anxiety, trauma, fear, low self-worth, depression, and other challenges that may be holding you back. Who is Patricia? I’m Patricia—a former foster child who was adopted and didn’t meet my biological family until I was 33 years old. My journey into mental health began in high school when I was selected and trained to be part of a teenage counseling program called Teenage Acting Communicating Together (T.A.C.T.). That early experience sparked my lifelong passion for helping others. Today, I’m a wife, a mom, and a trauma-informed licensed professional counselor with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I know that life is a journey, and we all have a story. At Soar & Rest, I will meet you where you are, walking alongside you to develop skills for understanding the root causes of depression, anxiety, and other symptoms. Together, we’ll work on improving communication, strengthening relationships, and setting healthy boundaries. My Clinical Experience I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Regent University. I’m trained in:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) – effective for acute trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma.

• Mindfulness – helping you stay present and grounded.

• Solution-Focused Therapy – goal-oriented techniques to find solutions.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – addressing negative thoughts and patterns.

Beyond the Office Outside of work, I’m a wife and mother who loves spending time with my family and nurturing our spiritual foundation. I’m also an animal lover (my fur babies are my joy!), and I enjoy cooking, vacationing, going to the beach, and getting lost in a good book. My Passion I have a heart for people and a deep desire to help others discover their purpose and live with confidence and peace. At Soar & Rest, you’re not alone—we’ll walk this journey together.
