Whether we are working toward a particular goal or engaging in a broader process of self-discovery, it is my job to facilitate, engage and empower.
Life gives us so many messages that make it hard to reach out and ask for the support we need, much less to a stranger, but therapy can be an empowering experience. No matter what your story is, we will find a way to navigate through the possibilities to find and achieve an improved sense of equilibrium and ease.

Many of my clients attend therapy to work through relationship issues, anxiety, academic and career concerns, depression, struggles with identity, and life transitions.
I work from strengths-based and client-centered perspectives, meaning my clients choose the topics discussed in each session, then we collaborate to identify their strengths and the best ways to enact their values and take steps towards the meaning and fulfillment they want in their lives.

Being a parent is not only the most challenging job I have ever had, but it is also the most rewarding.
I believe that the key to raising healthy well balanced children is to lead by example. Setting and some times re-establishing rules, boundaries and expectations for your children and family is vital for a happy home. My goals as a therapist are to help individuals and families discover balance and peace in their lives and to find a more hopeful perspective of life. I have over 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. Some of my areas of expertise include: treating depressive disorders, ADHD, and issues of self-esteem. I specialize in working with males 12 and up.

I have experience working addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, family challenges, boundary setting, burnout, career counseling, suicide, life change, self-care, spiritual fatigue, and connecting individuals to resources within the community.
We all bear marks and scars from life’s hardships and trials. Comparison of pain can frequently keep us from reaching out for help because “someone has it worse.” I am here to help you walk through whatever pain has brought you to where you currently are, grief, anxiety, depression, or transitions in life. Taking the step to seek counseling is incredibly brave; it is stepping out and saying you are more than what may seem insurmountable right now.

My job is not to tell you what to do, but rather to support you as you journey unfolds.

I offer a new perspective to each client that will best serve your needs. No two people are the same, so the advice given should meet your perspective.

I work with clients on a wide variety of common issues including anxiety and depression, with a special interest in leveraging my past professional experiences to help clients manage workplace stress, achieve work/life balance, navigate career stage changes (beginning, transition, retirement), find purpose, develop self-confidence, and cope with challenges associated with grief and loss.
Welcome! My name is Pete, and I am very glad you are here! Whether we are struggling with work, relationships, health, or any of life's challenges, seeking outside help for a personal issue can be a difficult decision to make, especially if we are accustomed to facing problems entirely on our own. There is an ancient proverb that states “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Although it can be scary and full of unknowns, a decision to incorporate therapy (and go together) while trying to tackle overwhelming and important issues, can be one of the most empowering decisions you choose to make in life.

How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
