Background and approach
He spent eight years at the Pride Institute and has supported many people navigating addiction and recovery. He also has experience helping people process trauma and cope with life changes. Patrick integrates clinical hypnotherapy into his work, using metaphor and guided visualization to help people process trauma and reduce barriers that keep them stuck.
He has practiced clinical hypnotherapy since 2005 and uses it to help clients imagine concrete ways to live differently. He is also a certified Reiki Master Healer and Teacher and can offer Reiki as a complementary option to promote relaxation and aid pain management. These tools are offered alongside talking therapies, not instead of them.
Patrick aims to match approaches to each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing cravings, handling guilt and shame, and building more self-compassion. He works in English and practices as an LPCC in Minnesota.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support
Patrick draws on a mix of structured methods and experiential tools. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided visualization and metaphor to help people reframe memories and reduce the grip of painful experiences; it can speed up progress when someone needs to shift unhelpful patterns. Reiki is offered as a complementary approach to promote relaxation and support pain management, serving as an alternative or addition to talking therapies.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your history, goals, and preferences and together you will decide which techniques to try first. That plan can change as work progresses and as different needs emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a work break, and messaging or chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support from a licensed professional without rearranging as much of daily life.
