About Patrica
My Philosophy
Change requires change.
Most of the time people come to see me they want change, but what they really want is the outside world to be different. For each of these people I wish I could change the world, so life could be easier to travel, free of relationship struggle, anxiety and depression. But I can’t, so I help them identify how they have accidentally created what they do not want to experience, and how to create what they do.
