Whether supervising my thoughtful team of Associate Marriage & Family Therapists, educating about body-based psychology, or sharing my personal story - years of experience reveal I'm most at home guiding clients and audiences toward connection and greater understanding.

With my preschool teacher heart, my therapist mind, and my poet's spirit - I'm skilled at making confounding new concepts approachable, so we can better welcome one another with best clinical, best workplace, and best human practices.

I invite you to peruse my website and professional portfolio for all the details. I'd be delighted to speak with you soon!

Warmly,
PatrickLyra*
