I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in helping clients navigate the complexities of relationships while developing a foundation of acceptance, trust, and communication. As an adaptable and caring professional, I help clients reach their life goals individually and relationally. I utilize a broad range of empirically sound therapeutic techniques with the flexibility to meet the client’s individual goals. This is achieved by using the client’s current strengths and then implementing new skills that the client can employ as they move forward on their life journey.

Patrick's Specialties
Individual/Family Therapy
Individual and Family therapy is a type of counseling that can help individuals and family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. The goal is to identify and address problems individuals may struggle with or struggle with within the family system. These issues could be emotional, psychological, or behavioral. Through individual/family therapy, I can help you and your family members set healthy goals. Goals that are designed to improve individual empowerment and family dynamics. I can help resolve personal and family problems, providing greater understanding, handling unique individual or family situations, and create a better-functioning life balance in the home environment.
Sex/Porn Addiction Recovery
Like an alcoholic unable to stop drinking, sexual addicts are unable to stop their self-destructive sexual behavior. Family breakups, financial disasters, loss of jobs, and risk to life are the painful themes of their stories. Sex addicts come from all walks of life – they may be ministers, physicians, homemakers, factory workers, salespersons, secretaries, clerks, accountants, therapists, dentists, politicians, or executives, to name just a few examples. Most were abused as children – sexually, physically, or emotionally. Most grew up in families where addiction flourished, including alcoholism, compulsive eating, and compulsive gambling. Most also grapple with other addictions, but they find sex addiction the most difficult to stop. Much hope nevertheless exists for these addicts and their families. Sex addicts have shown an ability to transform a life of self-destruction into a life of self-care, a life in chaos and despair, into one of confidence and peace.
Sexual addiction is defined as any sexually related, compulsive behavior which interferes with everyday living and causes severe stress on family, friends, loved ones, and one’s work environment. Sexual addiction has been called sexual dependency and sexual compulsivity. By any name, it is a compulsive behavior that completely dominates the addict’s life. Sexual addicts make sex a priority more important than family, friends, and work. Sex becomes the organizing principle of addicts’ lives. They are willing to sacrifice what they cherish most to preserve and continue their unhealthy behavior.
