More about me

Licensing: LMFT Years in Practice: 39 State: California

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the golden state of California with 39 years of experience in the field of psychology and active practice. My background covers a very wide range of life issues and concerns including anxiety, depression, life cycle issues, parenting problems, chronic mental health problems, ADHD, addictions, psychosis, trauma and abuse, grief and loss. (I work with a very wide range of issues and concerns across the life spectrum).

My personal counseling style is engaging, warm, and interactive. I don't believe a diagnosis identifies who a person is. As Mr. Rogers quoted across the last fifty years, you are "OK", just the way you are!

Regarding my counseling style my approach includes and combines client centered and a cognitive behavioral approach during a session. I am not limited to these two modalities, as most counselors today use interventions that are from a multiple of modalities of therapy that are acceptable and appropriate and with researched and evidenced based practices. I will adjust our interactions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I truly look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Patrick has been open and honest with me. In this season of life I can run away with my thoughts. But Patrick has taken the time to hear me .

Overall

Pat is a kind listener and makes me feel good about myself during times of anxiety and stress. As someone who suffers from perfectionism, and since I’m my toughest critic, it’s great to have an empathetic and compassionate professional help me navigate my emotions and difficult situations. I would recommend Pat to anyone looking to develop self love and navigating challenging situations. Thank you Pat.

Pat has been absolutely wonderful! He is very supportive and also knows how to navigate difficult conversations when needed. I came in with an initial thought of what I needed help with but have seen him help me with many aspects of my mental health outside of what originally presented. He is a great therapist and confidant. I appreciate his insight from scheduled video chats and also adhoc replies to our running chat. I am very thankful to have Pat as I work to improve my mental health.
