About
With over 12 years of experience as a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Patricia has a deep understanding of the diverse challenges and strengths that clients bring to therapy. Her work is grounded in three core values: authenticity, relational trust, and choice, which shape every session and guide how she shows up as a therapist. Patricia's goal is to offer a warm, supportive space where clients can speak openly, explore their experiences without judgment, and make sense of the patterns and emotions that influence their lives. At My Nurturing Hope Counseling, therapy is not about perfection, but about understanding oneself more deeply, building resilience, and moving toward the life one wants with compassion and clarity. Patricia serves individuals in Clarksburg, MD, and her practice specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.
