"There aren't many who are willing to sit with broken people in their pain....to be present and to skillfully listen with compassion. She gives time and space to hurting people...not rushing them along but joining them in the journey as she points them to Jesus...the One who sees..hears..understands and helps...Thank you Patria....for being present...unhurried...and skillful. For journeying with me in the hard buried places...for pointing me to Jesus and reminding me of His pursuing love...." - Connie

“I didn’t know how deeply I’d pushed down  my feelings, how hard I’d worked for years to survive until I began meeting with Patria. She is such an inviting and calming presence. As I began to slow down during our sessions, I saw God at work through the skillful words and active listening presence of this gifted woman.” - Anita

"You are without question the most skilled listener I have ever encountered. I think it may be a gift of yours. You gave all the time I needed to talk and share, then you would share very amazing observations, insights and ideas. That's a gift. I'm not sure someone can receiving training and be that way. For me, I grew to trust you and what you had to say."  - Steve
