My name is pronounced "Pay-tra" and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas that has been practicing for 15 years. I have worked with clients ranging from age 5 to 65 years old on topics such as, but not limited to anxiety, grief, self harm, depression, self esteem, and trauma.
Our mental health is a key part of coping with life’s big changes and I am here to offer you support during this time. My treatment approach is Solution Focused and Narrative therapy. My counseling style is compassionate and non-judgemental as I believe in treating everyone with sensitivity and respect. My goal in working with you is to listen intently and help you establish small steps in getting to your bigger goal. I look forward to working with you when you are ready.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Petra has been so amazing and helpful in our recent sessions. She gives her undivided attention and truly listens to what I have to say! Looking forward to our sessions in the future!
I’ve only started working with Petra recently. I really appreciate her nonjudgmental approach. I’m going through a particularly private and difficult situation.
I had the pleasure of working with Petra for 6 months. I turned to her to help me navigate and create a healthier relationship with my boyfriend. What ended up happening was she helped me navigate a better relationship to myself. The relationship didn’t survive but thanks to her I see that it’s not all my fault and I’m worthy to be in a relationship that’s a give and take. I’ve had other counselors before and I didn’t receive the help I need like I did with her. On our fist session she gave me tools to help me with overthinking and how to self regulate my thoughts. That is a priceless gift to bestow on a person. I’m able to apply those tools in all areas of my life, not just when it comes to romantic situations. I’m so grateful I met her. She’s bright, intuitive, supportive, nonjudgmental, optimistic, strong, has a great sense of humor and is able to maintain professionalism while being personable and light hearted. If you found Petra, you found a gem!
Petra is so compassionate and understanding. She gives me goals to work towards and asks all the right questions, which allow me to discover new things about myself in every session. I am so grateful that we were connected through BetterHelp.
I worked with Petra for 7 months and in that time found someone who I could really trust and open up to. Her empathy and understanding are the very reason I feel like our time was so effective. And I cannot recommend her enough! Out of our time together, I feel like I really grew into a better understanding of being compassionate to myself and my own feelings, as well as, a wider perspective on how things can change in one’s life. Petra helped me see other possibilities and ideas, challenged me in some of my beliefs, but ultimately continued to validate me through the stage of life that I’m at. I’m very grateful to have worked through things with her and hope to continue to in the future!
Petra is a great and caring therapist. She showed interest in my concerns. She addressed my issues and showed guidance towards a healthier lifestyle. I do appreciate her time she spent with me. And recommend her to others as well.
Petra is the best counselor I’ve ever had. She’s so patient and understanding, and truly just wants to help. I’m so glad I have her as my counselor. She’s helping me make a difference in my own life, and I am extremely grateful for her.
