Almost 12 years ago when I started seeing Patrick (to handle the grief over my mother's death), I was sarcastic, angry, impatient and cut off from my feelings. I was in a bad marriage which I stayed in because I didn't think I could live alone or that anyone else could ever love me. After about 8 years of intensive therapy, I was a totally different person. My husband and I separated amicably. I am much more patient, hardly ever sarcastic or angry, in touch with my feelings and the happiest I have ever been in my life. I can handle problems that come up now, whereas before I felt helpless.

Patrick helped me see the truth of my life -- my truth -- and to work through and get past the abuses of my childhood. He has a great sense of humor, is very empathic and nurturing and the right boundaries at the right times. He is an all around great guy. Because of him, I finally feel that I am "living" my life, instead of being dragged through my life by time and circumstance.

I cannot find a superlative high enough with which to recommend him! He is the best!
