Hi, my name is Patrick.  I was born in Texas, but I grew up living in Brazil and Chile. Thus, I also speak Portuguese and Spanish. I went to college in New Orleans and lived there for many years until I moved back to Houston. Currently, I live in Sugar Land. The best thing I did in 2024 was to adopt a rescue dog. Colin DaDog had been severely abused, so he needed a lot of love.  I am more than happy to give him all the love and attention he needs. He’s my best buddy now.

My approach to therapy varies according to the individual. I do not believe in a “cookie cutter” approach since each of us are at different stages of our journeys. You set the goals according to your needs, my job is to best the modality/modalities to assist you in reaching them.

 I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, Florida and Vermont and a Registered Nurse in Texas. I hold masters’ degrees in Social Work (University of Houston) and Divinity (Notre Dame Graduate School of Theology).  My varied life experiences, education and work provide me with unique skills for providing therapy.
