Patrick’s approach to therapy capitalizes on the strengths and abilities of individuals from all walks of life to access internal and external resources for spawning positive changes in life and for self-growth. The client, with the alliance of Patrick, can create solutions for the challenging obstacles that life withholds, and focuses on individuals’ resilience, values, and skills, via compassion, empathy, and sensitive services. The goal is to first attempt to spread your wings, in where your therapist can be there if and when you fall, supporting you until your wings are strong enough to fly on their own. Patrick has great confidence in your capability to do so.

Patrick will join you in your personal journey to self-actualization as you discover the person that you are.
