About
The Full Story
Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend... I am also a BIPOC therapist from Brazil, I am culturally aware and curious. I offer a unique perspective on acculturation and the challenges of navigating multiple cultures and backgrounds. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, I create a welcoming space for clients from various cultures.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ supportive and affirming. I provide sex positive, non-judgemental space that supports diverse sexualities, gender identities and consensual sexual practices. Clients are encouraged to discuss their sexuality as part of their mental health.
My Transpersonal approach focus on the spiritual human experience going beyond the personal self, expanding into deeper levels of consciousness and interconnectedness towards wholeness and self actualization. In my practice I honor ancestors who created the path for us to walk today.
My view of health is not the absence of pathology, but the belief that we are all capable of wholeness and growth. We are all in different levels of development and we all grow interdependently.
With a background in Architecture, I have developed an appreciation for beauty, simplicity, and flow, which translates into my ability to see patterns, structure ideas clearly, and bring coherence to complex emotional landscapes.
Being a wife and a mother gives me perspective and depth into family dynamics and the real, day-to-day difficulties of managing relationships. I am passionate about mindfulness and meditation. In my free time I restore my soul by being with family, in Nature and by Water.

My clients...
Clients often describe our work as a turning point—where they finally feel seen, understood, and safe enough to explore even the most painful parts of their story. I meet you with warmth, presence, and deep respect for the unconscious and ancestral patterns shaping your life. I listen beyond words, attuned to what’s spoken and unspoken, always honoring the pace your nervous system needs.
​
Whether you’re tending to grief, shame, perfectionism, or long-standing family wounds, our work will support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and building a life that reflects who you truly are—not just who you’ve had to be to survive.
If you’re yearning for depth, healing, and wholeness—this space is for you.
I offer therapy in person in San Anselmo (Marin County), San Francisco, and statewide in California over Zoom

“My work with Patrizia was a turning point in my life. Through her guidance, I was able to untangle the deep emotional ties with my mother, who passed away from cancer. When I was later diagnosed myself, family constellation therapy changed my life and destiny. It allowed me to see the blind love I carried for her, and while I couldn’t save her, the process set me free.”
