About me

As an art therapist with Grow Therapy, I specialize in helping clients explore and express their emotions through the creative process, often using humor to create a relaxed and comfortable environment. By integrating traditional therapeutic techniques with art-making and a touch of lightheartedness, I provide a unique and effective approach to mental health care. My goal is to support you in your journey toward healing and self-discovery, offering a safe and nurturing space where you can process your experiences and gain new insights.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you can expect to discuss any past experiences with therapy, exploring what has worked and what hasn't. Together, we will identify your goals and how we can collaboratively work towards achieving them, setting the foundation for a personalized and supportive therapeutic journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What makes me unique is my ability to identify and help clients recognize their blind spots, while also being their biggest cheerleader. I am committed to celebrating your progress and strengths, ensuring you feel supported and encouraged throughout your therapeutic journey.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve clients who don't see themselves as a problem to solve, but rather seek to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. These clients are curious, open to self-exploration, and interested in using creative methods to enhance their self-awareness and personal growth.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

We all have our strengths but it's often the hardest thing to realize when you're in the thick of things. I work with my clients to see what might be just out of focus. I incorporate a strengths-based treatment along with other methods that fit my client, rather than attempting to fit clients into a method.

Weeks into my sessions with Petra, and I can confidently say she has helped me grow and works towards being the version of myself I want to be. She is consistent in her approaches and incredibly intelligent in the way she assists with re thinking problems you are facing. I would greatly recommend Petra to someone who has felt previous therapists have not challenged them in their way of thinking or have felt like they are not empowered after engaging in therapy. She is simply the best I've had.

I have been meeting with Petra for about a month now and she has been life changing. After years of failed therapists, this is the first one I feel is hearing, understanding, and truly helping me. Her demeanor, intelligence, and personality makes her a delight to work with that makes me look forward to therapy every week. I am so grateful to have met her and am looking forward to my continued therapeutic relationship.
