Hi, I’m Patty, your friend with a flashlight.
I help overwhelmed, often neurospicy caregiving women find steadier rhythms, clearer boundaries, and grounded next steps, one honest conversation at a time.

I built the practice I wish I’d had.
For years, I was the one holding everything together: kids, aging parents, a brain that runs a little differently, and a life that kept asking more of me. I kept looking for a coach who wouldn’t hand me another color-coded system or tell me to “just meditate.”
So I built River & Root Coaching. This is the quiet riverbank I needed, a place to catch your breath, sort through what’s actually happening, and choose one small, honest next step. No hustle, no shame, no clipboard.
Think of me less as a guru and more as a friend with a flashlight, walking beside you until the path feels clearer.
Warm, honest, and refreshingly practical.
Four values that shape every session, journal, and program at River & Root.
Grounded, not hustled
We slow down enough to see what’s actually true before we make a plan.
Honest conversation
Real talk, warm tone. No jargon, no performance, no shame spirals.
Neurospicy-friendly
Rhythms and tools built for real brains — ADHD, anxious, sensitive, tired.
One small step
We finish every conversation with a next step you actually want to take.
You might recognize yourself here.
The women who find their way to River & Root are usually the ones everyone else leans on. You’re competent, caring, and quietly running on fumes.
Maybe you’re raising kids while helping aging parents. Maybe your brain works a little differently, and the standard advice never quite fits. Maybe you’re in the middle of a transition, burnout, empty nest, career shift, or just a season that’s asking more of you than you have to give.
Whatever brought you here, you’re welcome. This is a soft place to land while you figure out what’s next.
This is for you if…
- ✦ You’re holding a lot and it’s starting to show.
- ✦ Your boundaries feel more like suggestions.
- ✦ You want steadier rhythms, not another 5am routine.
- ✦ You’re neurospicy and tired of one-size-fits-all advice.
- ✦ You want a next step that actually fits your real life.
A little about the path that got me here.
Coaching based on real-life
