Hello, my name is Peter. Have you been considering therapy for a while but been hesitant to make the first step? I have a gentle calming approach and we will work at your pace.

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as a person-centered approach.

I have a wide variety of experiences helping with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, burnout, and trauma among others. We can evaluate all areas or just focus on the present. I take pride in helping you to feel that you are in a safe and comfortable space to share the true feelings you have but are hard to speak out loud. Life is a journey and there are many unexpected obstacles that we are all susceptible to having those barriers derail us from the healthy place we desire to be. I can help to problem-solve and use evidence-based approaches and techniques to help get you back on track! I'm not here to listen to my own voice, I want to truly hear you and help empower you to grow in the ways that are best for you.

First session

I hope to give you a real tangible skill or thoughtful consideration about your journey from every session. After we conclude our work together this should mean you have a whole array of tools to pull from your coping skill toolbox for any given situation.

Strengths

Everyone is different and different approaches are tailored specifically to each person to best suit the needs that are presented. I like a humanistic approach, in the beginning, to best understand the presenting issues and create a trusting and safe environment so that therapeutic work can take place.

This was my first therapy session in a VERY long time. I kind of went in and verbally vomited and rambled . I mentioned that I’m not normally like that and he suggested ways to help structure sessions and target specific goals. At the end he told me to consider if he was what I’d need in a therapist and that if I wasn’t he could help me find another provider. I appreciate knowing that someone will be direct with me and he naturally did a great job being supportive and direct.
