I’m Patrick, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I also welcome clients exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning, and I offer therapy in English and Portuguese.
My style is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, psychoanalytic, existential, and humanistic approaches. We will address what is troubling you now while also becoming curious about deeper patterns that may keep it returning—such as early relationships, unspoken expectations, self-criticism, or the roles you often take with others.
Therapy with me is thoughtful and unhurried. I pay careful attention, invite reflection, and help bring less-visible patterns into view. My aim is to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can understand yourself more fully, feel steadier, and make changes that last. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable; you do not need to have everything figured out before we begin.
