Welcome! So glad you are here.
What a time we're living in. It is so hard to know where to start these days when trying to figure out what to do about anything, right? How do we process everything the world serves to us from day to day? Whether the origin of your struggle is around you or inside of you, fuzzy or clear to you, I invite you to come begin a journey of understanding. Together let’s take a peek at the roadblocks that have become obstacles to you becoming your whole, joyous, and most effective self. I commit to creating a safe and sacred space for you to be yourself in—to risk, receive and integrate new insights into your life to obtain the outcome you seek, and more. We are equal travelers on this planet and it is from this place where you will always be greeted by me; human first, therapist 2nd with respect, dignity, and non-judgment always being at the center of our time together. Maybe that’s a good enough palace to start?
I specialize in issues related to LGBTQ+ identity. If you identify as queer or unclear, or unidentified along the sexual orientation/
gender spectrum, this is a safe space to talk about it. My experience and knowledge, however, is as diverse as people are so reach out no matter how you identify. If you have struggles with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief/loss (another specialty of mine), mid/end-of-life issues, sex offender history or fear, kink/fetish confusion or adjustment, you are welcome. I also assist clients seeking to cultivate or re-claim a spiritual life that has perhaps been affected by negative experiences.
My previous training in the arts has given me an understanding of the value of creative solutions to struggles. My style in doing this heart work is a very humanistic approach. This is represented by the space I have created for our time together; warm and inviting, safe and open where you will be heard and where therapy feels more like visiting a friend. See my “ABOUT” to learn more about my journey as a therapist and my practice.

"Working with Patrick in couples therapy was one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made for our relationship. Over the course of eighteen months, the experience was truly transformative. We gained a much deeper understanding of each other’s communication styles and developed tools that continue to serve us every day. One of the most valuable practices we built together, a weekly one-hour relationship check-in, has become a lasting part of our routine. It has helped us stay connected, intentional, and aligned. We are incredibly grateful to Patrick for guiding us during a time when we needed it most. He is a truly gifted healer, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple seeking greater understanding, alignment, and harmony at any stage of their journey."— Sho and Saumya"I have been in counseling with Patrick for several years now and I have so much gratitude for him and the support he has provided. Since the very beginning of our work together, Patrick provided me with gentle guidance to examine what was troubling me and explore why I was experiencing the feelings and emotions I was experiencing. From going through trauma as a child to substance abuse concerns in my current relationship, I have processed and overcome so much. I am so very thankful to have worked and to continue to work with Patrick."
