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

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, 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.
