Hello, I'm Patty.

You may be standing between what was and what comes next.

Work With Me

Let's Explore the Possibilities Together

Perhaps a role, relationship, dream, or season of your life has ended. Or your life is changing in a way you did not choose.

You may have spent years caring for someone else, meeting expectations, holding everything together, or doing what life required of you. Now the old way no longer fits, yet the way forward has not fully revealed itself.

You know you cannot return to who you were. You may not yet know who you are becoming.

This in-between place can feel disorienting. It can also be a place of deep truth.

You may not need someone to give you all the answers. You may simply need a place to slow down, listen more deeply, and recognize what is true for you.

That is the kind of space I hold.

My own life has been shaped by transitions.

Before founding Trust the Invisible, I spent 40 years working with words, ideas, and people as an editor, editorial consultant, and manager of editorial operations.

An editor listens for what someone is really trying to say. She notices patterns, finds the thread within a complicated story, and helps bring what is unclear into focus.

I did not know then that I was developing skills I would eventually bring to spiritual work that supports healing.

My life outside the workplace was shaping me too. I served as a crisis-intervention hotline responder; tutored adults and children; studied spiritual and personal development traditions; and cared for loved ones living with dementia, bipolar disorder, and autism.

The years I spent helping to care for my mother through dementia—and accompanying her through the end of her life—changed me profoundly. Caregiving asked more of my body, mind, heart, and spirit than I could have anticipated. After her death, I entered another transition: discovering who I am now that I am no longer providing round-the-clock care at home.

I do not approach the uncertainty of change as an outsider. I know what it feels like to live in the unknown between who I was and who I am becoming.

My spiritual life has been another steady thread. I began receiving what I now understand as channeled guidance during childhood, long before I had language to describe the experience. Over time, I learned to trust this awareness while developing the discernment needed to work with it responsibly.

Trust the Invisible grew from the meeting place between those parts of me: the professional editor who looks carefully for meaning and the introverted intuitive who listens for what cannot always be seen.

How I work

I am a guide.

I am not here to dictate your future or tell you who you should become.

I create a space where you can hear yourself more clearly, explore the patterns within your experience, and recognize the wisdom that may already be trying to reach you.

I bring spiritual sensitivity, careful listening, and practicality to this work, along with respect for your inner authority.

Depending upon the nature of our work, I may draw from the Akashic Records, tarot, intuitive dialogue, hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and transformational coaching.

These methods are not the center of the work. You are.

Our work may help you:

Name something you have felt but have not been able to express.
Distinguish intuition from fear, habit, and outside expectations.
Understand patterns that continue to shape your choices.
Reconnect with parts of yourself you’ve had to set aside while caring for others.
Explore what a meaningful next chapter might look like.
Take a grounded next step without having the entire journey figured out.

Why Trust the Invisible?

Trusting the invisible does not mean abandoning reason or accepting everything presented as spiritual truth.

It means recognizing the quieter forms of knowing that accompany us through change: intuition, dreams, symbols, inner promptings, meaningful patterns, and the wisdom of the body and soul.

It also means practicing discernment.

Not every fear is a warning. Not every impulse is intuition. Not every ending is a failure. And not every period of uncertainty needs to be rushed.

We can listen deeply while remaining grounded. We can make room for mystery without surrendering our judgment. We can acknowledge what has ended while remaining open to what may still be forming.

This is the heart of Trust the Invisible.

My professional training matters. So does what life has taught me: people do not always need more information. Sometimes they need help recognizing the meaning within what they have already lived.

Come sit down for a while.

Sometimes the next step is not to push harder, fix yourself, or immediately turn a difficult season into a success story.

Sometimes you need a place to sit down for a while, tell the truth about where you are, and listen for what wants to come next.

If you are navigating a meaningful transition, searching for clarity, or sensing that something within you is ready to be heard, you are welcome here.

You do not need a perfectly defined goal. You do not need to know exactly what comes next.

We can begin with where you are.
