I’m Patrick, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I see therapy as an opportunity for self-discovery as well as healing and I look to create a space for you to grow and improve your quality of life. I have worked in a variety of settings for over the past 10 years and through these experiences I have gained expertise in working with depression, trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, grief, relationship stress and stress associated with life transitions. I’m guided by compassion, patience, and mindfulness and look at therapy as a partnership. Please reach out if you would like more information.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have focused my practice on listening, fostering trust, and supporting those who I work with to learn about themselves and tackle their challenges.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love and enjoy working with everyone who walks through my door, or shows up on my screen. The people i have worked best with have allowed me to help address stress, anxiety, depression, and transition from inpatient behavioral health care.

I've had a rough time finding the right therapist and Patrick seemed to make a genuine, goal oriented connection. Our intake session was very well received and I look forward to working with him!

Patrick is very understanding and not judgmental at all. He is excellent at coming up with solutions that are customized to me so that they can have a bigger effect on my success.
