I am licensed in North Carolina and South Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. My approach to therapy includes the use of models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as others depending on what appears to be most appropriate for your needs and preferences. Some of the topics we may address in therapy include managing stress and anxiety, life purpose, drug and alcohol addictions, anger management, motivation, and self-esteem issues. I believe that we all have areas where we can learn from one another as well as areas to work on each day to try and improve ourselves. Therapy can be a wonderful place to learn and improve, and I am here to support you in that process.
Additional areas of focus: Trauma and abuse, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Drug and alcohol addiction, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Social anxiety and phobia, Young adult issues
Clinical approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

Patrick has been a sturdy go-to in my life for the past year and more!
He is patient and understands people who function in OCD often.
He has helped my faith and helped me get closer to God, how I see God, and how I see my parents.

I’ve been working with Patrick for a couple years now and I’ve been extremely happy with his expertise. I feel like I’m taking a college level course in my own psychology during our sessions and that is incredibly helpful for me to understand my mind.

Patrick helped me through a divorce and child alienation period in my life. He helped me to see the upside when I couldn't. He is a great listener and very inciteful. I always look forward to my weekly sessions with Patrick. I am very thankful that BetterHelp paired him with me.
