Patrick: Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LSW (he/him)

About Patrick

I believe therapy should feel warm, direct, and conversational. Before becoming a therapist, I studied for the priesthood and taught in schools from Chicago to South Dakota—experiences that taught me how to connect with people from every walk of life. I bring that same curiosity and empathy into therapy, helping you explore what’s keeping you stuck and begin making real changes that bring relief, clarity, and confidence.

As a licensed male therapist in Chicago, I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach combines warmth, reflection, and direct insight to help clients make sense of their experiences and move forward with purpose.
