About Peter

Welcome! I am so excited to start our journey together. The choice to start therapy is a big milestone in itself, and I can’t wait to continue with you on the next step. My work is rooted in the idea that people are inherently valuable and continue to be throughout the inevitable twists and turns of life. The stories we carry are rich with beauty and challenges and I want to work with you to understand how your story impacts your experience of the world.

The context of your life is important to me. That is why I center your perspective to work with you to strengthen your connection to yourself. Then we spend time shaking off or integrating the things you carry that do not serve you anymore. I believe that every person deserves attentive compassionate care, so I structure my sessions so that we can understand the depth of your story while taking actionable steps to help you live your most fulfilled life. I have seen the benefit of mental healthcare firsthand, so providing care that helps people reach their potential is something I hold close to my heart.

During my childhood, I spent many years in the high Andes of Peru, which allowed me to develop a compassionate view of culture and people. I learned that circumstances do not define personhood, and everyone is operating from the context they have. Therapy is definitely not “one size fits all,” so I work with you to find the approaches that actually fit your life and goals.

Outside of therapy, you might find me going on hikes or watching sports with friends. I also spend a lot of time with my wife and son, playing Minecraft or learning how to cook a new, special recipe.

I can’t wait to get to know you and your story! Let’s start our work together and begin to build new stories that you can take into your future.
