Hi there, I'm Peter!

I earned a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis & completed a 2-year NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship in Psychiatry at WashU Medical School. I offer warm, collaborative, evidence-based therapy for adults and teens 16+ facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood issues, life changes, chronic illness, and religious trauma.

My focus

Are you struggling with trauma, complex PTSD, mood disorders, or other serious mental health challenges? I help adults and teens 16+ process painful experiences, including religious trauma, build practical coping skills, and move toward healing, greater stability, and a stronger sense of self.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. I use an evidence based approach and draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and existential approaches to support your goals. You set the pace and focus of sessions, and together we build insight, skills, and meaningful change.
