Education & Background
Patrick holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). A native Nevadan, his path to clinical practice was shaped by a life of discipline, service, and leadership.
He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1997 to 2001, attaining the rank of Sergeant and receiving an honorable discharge. He spent over 25 years teaching martial arts — including study in Japan — and has trained and promoted many students to black belt. His background in the casino industry further deepened his expertise in human behavior, where he developed and delivered use-of-force, defensive tactics, and de-escalation training programs for security departments at MGM/Mirage properties.
This breadth of experience — military service, martial arts mastery, corporate training, and clinical practice — gives Patrick a uniquely grounded perspective that clients and trainees consistently describe as both authoritative and deeply compassionate.
Teaching & Training
Patrick is passionate about elevating the clinical profession. In addition to his private practice, he teaches psychology at the college level and provides state-approved supervision for therapist interns. He leads professional training programs in Parts and Memory Therapy, clinical hypnosis, and NLP — equipping therapists nationwide with advanced tools for transformative client outcomes.
