I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Nebraska – Omaha. I have worked in multiple treatment settings, including residential and outpatient services for substance use disorders. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and families with a range of therapeutic issues, including addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and suicidality. I especially enjoy working with those in the LGBTQ+ community.
I believe no one should have to struggle alone, and I am blessed with the privilege of watching people grow. I enjoy those small moments in therapy when someone gains clarity about themselves. I think life is hard, and it’s okay to ask for help. In my work, I utilize a blend of CBT and DBT with Existential theories.
I find that understanding our beliefs, values, and thoughts helps to navigate life in a healthier manner. In my personal life, I read a lot and enjoy playing video games.

Patrick has been one of the best people I could imagine to talk to. I’m new to therapy and the open environment he facilitates has allowed me to express things I’ve never been able to say before. He is understanding and knows how to best respond to the situations I am dealing with. I’m very grateful to have him to talk to about anything in life.
