Teletherapy for Illinois

It is my goal to provide you with a safe, therapeutic space to unload and explore your needs, worries, and fears whatever they may be. The path to healing is unique for each of us. We will work collaboratively towards meeting your goals and needs, and in doing so, make your life more comfortable and satisfying. It is my hope that each person who meets with me feels accepted, as I respect each individual's culture, gender, race, religion, and sexual identity.

My ideal client comes from many walks of life. They are children, teenagers, and adults and present with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship and family problems, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), school problems, and oppositional-defiant disorder. They all share a common need to be heard, empowered, and guided on the path of recovery. I provide evidence-based treatments tailored to the needs of my clients. I focus on strengths and capabilities rather than "illness."

I use a collaborative model, where sessions feel like two people having a conversation in my living room, versus a stereotypical doctor/patient interaction. I don't view your issues as coming from an abnormal psychopathology, but instead as a reaction to living in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. I seek to understand your issues in the context of your unique experience rather than viewing you as having something wrong or being broken. My focus is on what you need from me....I take my lead from you.

I utilize a growth-oriented approach to empower people to problem solve and make changes to pursue the life they envision. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) strategies are used in my practice, with an emphasis on the use of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, to equip people with the skills needed to overcome life’s stressors and challenges. In dialectics, we acknowledge the opposing sides of each experience and work together to synthesize the two. I prioritize developing a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship that will meet you where you are at in your journey, and will come alongside you to cultivate your strengths.

As humans, we all face an array of challenges, experience pain and suffering, and sometimes, find ourselves feeling alone in the dark, helpless and hopeless. I understand asking for help can be the most terrifying and uncomfortable decision we have to make during these times. As a therapist, it is my goal to empower my clients through these hardships, to find the light. I am invested in and unafraid to provide the deep connection and nonjudgmental space essential to think, feel, and work through any fears and challenges appearing in the way of achieving your goals.

Welcome! I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder ( BPD ), and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Individuals in my practice with anxiety and/or mood difficulties tend to experience uncontrollable worry, panic attacks, fear of judgments from others, work and relationship stress, depressed mood, and hopelessness. My clients with trauma-related disorders commonly experience negative beliefs about themselves, others, and the world around them as well as upsetting memories and dreams.

"The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong in the broken places" (Earnest Hemingway). That's why there is nothing I enjoy more than helping people connect with the internal power to grow from, cope with, and transform wounds that tend to separate us from our own highest good. Although this life and physical body are temporary, at our core we have a connection to an unlimited Source of power, wisdom,health, and healing.

My name is Patrick and I’m glad you found my page. Life can be hard, and change isn’t easy; if it was, we would have done it already. In my experience, change and personal growth come with guidance and training as well as support and understanding. That is what I can offer to anyone that would like to work with me. The main focus of my work is with individuals in the kink and poly communities, as well as individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder ( BPD ). I also work frequently with LGBTQIA clients and people experiencing anxiety, depression, and personal and career stress.

I’m so glad you’ve taken the first step towards better health! Starting is always the toughest part, but Therapists are human too!

I love helping my clients re-discover how amazing they already are! Next, we work together to figure out an action plan to help you live your best life! I’m not the stuffy Therapist type. I love coffee (Starbucks), singing in the rain, dancing, laughing and long walks down the aisle of Target! Now onto the more important, professional stuff…

Trauma, especially childhood trauma can affect every aspect of your life. Borderline personality disorder is often misunderstood and I want my clients to know that they are not a diagnosis. Issues of trauma, BPD , racial issues, and communicating within your family system can be stressful, and cause a variety of life altering symptoms. Anxiety, stress, depression, harsh internal thoughts, and loss of hope are some of the reasons my clients come to therapy. During therapy, I want you to feel understood, and safe to open up and process these deep concerns.

I have experience working with both adolescents and adults, providing individual therapy and group therapy in private practice, outpatient treatment, and inpatient treatment settings.

I take a holistic and non-judgmental approach to help my clients meet their goals, explore their relationships, and feel more confident in their decisions.
