Hi, I’m Patricia. I started Securely Coupled to help move couples towards secure functioning.
Our relationships are imagined and co-created; They do not exist on their own. We bring assumptions, wants, needs, and unspoken expectations into our partnerships. We often times forget that collaboration, co-creation, and negotiation are all necessary for a relationship to excel and bloom.
With my help, you and your partner will
Evaluate the health of your relationship.
Reflect on your individual roles in the relationship.
Create your idealized relationship vision as individuals.
Come together and co-create your imagined, secure partnership.
Create agreements for your relationship.
Learn to fight fair & repair during conflicts.
Rebuild & create a better relationship together.
Can you imagine being in a relationship that feels secure?

Couples’ therapy is my passion, but I haven’t always been a couples’ therapist…
