• Patricia’s Personal Introduction. Below

“I opened New Hope Counseling in 1993. I’d somehow learned in my past that people should be ashamed if they had problems and I didn’t at first reach out when I had problems. But when I did reach out, I found help and new hope. I wanted to extend healing and hope to people who needed them.

Over the past fifteen years, I have helped people respond in new ways to the life challenges they face. At New Hope, I see childrens and adults for individual, couple and family threapy. I treat depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma and victim issues. I work with children’s behavior disorders and disabilities, relationship issues and management and resolution of conflicts.

At New Hope, you will be helped to:

• Identify and understand the sources of your concerns
• Find alternative ways of viewing situations
• Begin to manage daily stresses and establish relational boundaries
• Improve awareness, respect and communication
• Build self- confidence and develop a support system
• Discover Biblical principles for relationships and life goals

What happens in counseling:

We typically meet once a week for a 45-minute session. Over a period of some weeks, I will listen, ask questions, and help you rethink your problems. I will help you reassess your options, develop a new position, and learn to practice healthy boundaries and behaviors, which will result in new freedom and new hope.
