Hi, I'm Patrick. I'm the father of two, so when I'm not counseling I'm either spending time with my kids or I'm engaging in one of several hobbies that provide enjoyment or help me cope with stress. Besides being a book and movie nerd, I like to write essays, stories and poetry, play guitar, train for 5K runs and occasionally travel or go camping. I've practiced counseling as a therapist, as an educator and as a crisis specialist. Although my degree is from the University of North Texas, I've learned much of my current set of skills from the experience of counseling clients and through specific training and workshops aimed at improving myself professionally. As a therapist, I tend to be very relaxed, coming alongside clients to help them at situations that feel like dead ends or like they are in a fog with no clear direction in sight. With people, one size usually does not fit all, so I like to have a variety of techniques available to assist them. Sometimes a path can be made clear simply by sorting through thoughts with someone, but often situatons are more complex with more variables in play, such as with addiction, feelings of uncontrollable anger, trauma that seems to overwhelm or something that feels more physical like sexual dysfunction. My starting point is usually listening to try to wrap my mind around a client's story and then I work alongside my client to see if our combined efforts and experience can help them go forward. I bring to the table training in anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, anger management, communication, boundaries, sexual issues, spiritual abuse, grief and consciousness growth.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology.

My first job after graduation was working in a recovery center After that, I worked as an Aftercare Supervisor where I helped clients maintain their recovery during the first crucial months. Next, I took a position as an outpatient therapist at a community mental health agency. Here I gained experience counseling people with various mental health disorders such as depression, anxieties, schizophrenia and trauma.
