In her young adult years, she experienced living in Kentucky, Germany, and Switzerland. At twenty-eight, she settled in a small lakeside home outside of Tampa, Florida where she and her husband, Carl raised their two sons.
Patricia attended the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland in 1983 and 1984 where she was introduced to Sandplay Therapy. She is a founding member of the Florida Sandplay Therapy Association and a founding member and core faculty member of the Sandplay Therapy Institute. She has taught extensively in Florida and at national and international conferences.
Patricia has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (SW-1575) in private practice in Tampa, Florida, since 1985, a Certified Sandplay Therapist-Teacher through the International Society for Sandplay Therapy since 1995, and a trained EMDR therapist since 2003. She utilizes an eclectic approach to psychotherapy and play therapy, trying to meet each client with what they need, but has a strong Jungian psychotherapy foundation in a diverse practice, working with children, adults, couples, and families. Patricia has extensive experience in the practices of mindfulness and centering prayer. She has had a lifelong interest in the various spiritual paths to knowing the Divine, especially Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and poetry. She offers readings in Evolutionary Astrology, if interested.
Her publication credits include a chapter in Supervision of Sandplay Therapy (Routledge 2007) and professional articles in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy. Her creative writing has been published in Sacred Journey: The Journal of Fellowship in Prayer and The Aspen Times.
