I am a licensed professional in California with extensive experience in the mental health industry. With 7 years of dedicated work and an additional 11 years of complementary experience, I have worked in various settings including the criminal justice system, high-acuity psychiatric units, applied behavioral analysis, geriatrics, substance abuse facilities, and PHP/IOP/RTC levels of care. Thank you for considering me as your therapist.
I respect your courage in taking the first step towards therapy and I am here to support you on your journey. Your story is important and together, we can work towards achieving your goals and finding inner peace. During our initial session, we'll kick things off with a friendly introduction before delving into the specific hurdles you're navigating. This will pave the way for us to design a personalized roadmap that we'll embark on together in our future sessions.
With experience working with a wide range of individuals, I have honed a proven strategy to better serve your needs by helping you pinpoint underlying issues you face.
I am best positioned to support individuals who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change in their lives. Many of the clients I work with value a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where they can be honest and feel truly heard. I work especially well with individuals who are motivated to engage in the therapeutic process and are open to learning practical tools alongside deeper self-reflection.

When I speak with Patrick, I know I am working with someone who listens and keeps notes because he consistently refers back to prior sessions and reminds me of previous topics/issues we have discussed. I feel comfortable and safe expressing myself with Patrick and I feel that he both affirms my experiences and provides contrary perspectives to help me see a holistic version of myself and choices.
