Meet Patrick

I grew up in a household that honored magic and ritual.

A quarter on the stovetop to invite abundance. A lemon sealed in plastic wrap to ward off negative spirits. Small, deliberate acts woven into the fabric of everyday life.

I always joke that whenever my aunts and uncles came around, it was only a matter of time before the conversation turned to the magical, the paranormal, and the supernatural. It was easy and familiar — everyone’s favorite topic.

So I grew up understanding that magic was real, that ritual had power, and that the unseen was worth paying attention to.

With that foundation came tarot.

“My first experience with the cards was at three years old. My mom and aunt would drive over an hour to see their tarot reader.”

THE JOURNEY

I studied tarot seriously.
For over a decade before I read for anyone else.

Pulling cards for myself every morning. Reading the meanings, sitting with the archetypes, absorbing the lessons as I moved through my days. Building a relationship with the cards — slow, consistent, and with deep respect for the craft.

Even in the early stages, I had profound respect for what tarot could offer someone at a crossroads. How grounding it could be. How clarifying. How it had the power to reflect something deeply true the moment you needed to see it.

Then in 2022, my father passed away.
And I learned, firsthand, just how much that guidance matters.

The cards really supported me me during that time. Not to predict anything — or tell me what to do. They helped me see clearly. What I was feeling, what I needed, what was true — when everything else felt uncertain.

My relationship with tarot deepened after that. For the first time in my journey, it felt purposeful and important to start offering it to others. Not just my friends and family, but anyone that was looking for answers.

Tarot was healing energy, empowering energy, and a reminder that you are always supported.

The decision to create That Oracle Guy — a nod to my lifelong use of oracle cards — was easy after that. I was going to use this practice to help people navigate the full range of their experience. To uplift and empower all parts of themselves.

Because I had learned, firsthand, the power these readings can have as a north star in your journey.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

How I approach the space

I practice evolutionary tarot (tarot evolutivo) — as a mirror for a persons personal, emotional, and spiritual growth. As a way to understand your patterns, reconnect with your intuition, and make choices that are genuinely your own.

Every reading I offer is rooted in the belief that the wisdom of tarot is ultimately the wisdom of our own lives. The cards don't tell you what will happen. They reflect what is — and illuminate what's possible.

My readings always emphasize:

  • Your personal, spiritual, and emotional growth

  • A safe, welcoming space to be, feel, and move through what's present

  • Grounded, solutions-oriented guidance for your path forward

  • A trauma-informed approach to emotional and spiritual healing

  • A prioritization of self-care and resilience

About This Work

Patrick's approach to tarot is grounded not just in a decade of dedicated study, but in a set of formal credentials that are rare in the tarot space — and that directly shape the quality and integrity of every reading he offers.

Psychological First Aid (Johns Hopkins University) informs how Patrick shows up for clients who are navigating crisis, grief, loss, or significant life disruption. Tarot readings often surface deep emotion — and knowing how to hold that space responsibly, without causing harm, is something Patrick takes seriously.

Positive Psychology (University of Pennsylvania) grounds Patrick's solutions-oriented approach. Rather than dwelling in what's wrong or what's feared, his readings consistently orient toward strengths, possibilities, and actionable forward movement. It’s a trained, evidence-based commitment to what actually helps people grow.

The Science of Well-Being (Yale University) deepens Patrick’s understanding of what genuinely contributes to human flourishing — and helps him distinguish between guidance that feels good in the moment and guidance that actually serves someone's long-term growth and resilience.

Together, these credentials mean that when you sit with Patrick — whether in a recorded reading or a live session — you’re working with someone who has invested seriously in understanding both the wisdom of tarot and the science of human experience. That combination is what makes That Oracle Guy's readings consistently described as grounding, clarifying, and genuinely useful.

Patrick works with clients and students around the world, from his base in Brooklyn, New York.
