Meet Peter

Hello and welcome! Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained can make even everyday life exhausting. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, or major life transitions. Therapy can be a space where you no longer have to carry everything alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps clients develop coping skills and meaningful tools to support real, lasting change. I am here to guide and support you on your journey.
