Peter creates an inviting and safe environment for me to reflect and share. It has been a few months since I've seen a therapist, and he made me feel very comfortable to start again. I leave every session feeling heard. He is also very flexible when I have a scheduling conflict - always very accommodating to ensure that I feel supported.
More about Peter

- LMHC
I have over ten years of experience working in the mental health field, and have worked with individuals experiencing a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, mood disorders, stress, relationship distress, and work related conflict among many other things that bring people into therapy.
I tend to have a more welcoming and relaxed approach to help allow you to feel more comfortable. I believe in person centered therapy as you are the most important part of the treatment. I also have experience with CBT, DBT and EMDR.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
