Dr. Pat is a 1985 graduate of Baylor University with a Psy.D. She is working with veterans at the VA and contracts with the United Methodist Church as a Ministerial Assessment Specialist. Her latest publication was released fall 2018 through Routledge/Taylor & Francis:  Using Stories, Art and Play in Trauma-Informed Treatment: Case Examples and Applications Across the Lifespan. This resource includes case examples (client stories, art and play) as well as conceptualization that guides treatment. It would be an excellent clinical text for those studying trauma and intervention.  In 2018, some of her workshop and teaching materials were accepted for a joint Sustainability Project between Taylor & Francis publishers and the United Nations. She is using stories and drawing with veterans to help them describe past trauma and impact on their lives. She has provided training on Moral Injury, Using Metaphor and Story for Trauma Narrative/Impact, Impact of Trauma on Child Development, Integrative Treatment for Veteran Moral Injury (and the Benefit of Metaphor and Story), Mindful Practices for Children, Rorschach Performance Assessment System (RPAS), Cultural Diversity, and Using Stories, Art and Play in Family Focused Trauma Intervention. She taught and supervised graduate students in clinical psychology at Spalding University for 19 years.
