About
Patrick
Hi, Im Pat, Over the last 41 years I have treated a wide range and variety of clients with concerns ranging from mild mood struggles at age 3, to end of life finality. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults individually, as well as couples, families, groups, classroom teachers (University Professor for five years) through the spectrum of life and transitions, tragedy, complex grief, pre marital, marital, separation, divorce, career exploration. Utilized private practice, inpatient hospital, county mental health, jails, prison, drugs and alcohol with addictions and many more areas of life, mentioned in bio. Trainer and first responder to critical incident debriefing with schools, in community and through county mental health with tragedies. I enjoy assisting others with life struggles. My education, life experiences, training and many career opportunities within the counseling field have provided knowledge and shaped me to assist the walking wounded in life. I answered that call by becoming a healing practitioner . My passion has only increased and matured over time.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time reading, spending time with my adult kids and grandkids, and engaging in a good movie. My other forms of life passions are being in nature with the beach, forest, desert, mountains, traveling and seeing God's beautiful earth and still live in amazement and awe of the creations’ wonders. I also love to exercise and enjoy wellness, fitness, good food, play, laughter, snow, rain, fresh cool autumn days, and early spring rain with new growth. I love being a man, having been married, a father, grandfather, uncle and best friend. I embrace and enjoy God with Jesus as my Savior and love the uniqueness of all individuals from all walks of life and living. I smile with the varied cultures and diversities of individuls and share the human experience that we have more in common in life and living. I have enjoyed my times with individuals across my forty plus years of being a therapist/and human being with treating clients from the USA, Canada, Mexico, China, Pakistan, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iran, Africa, Italy and most European countries.
