ABOUT ME
My approach:
Telling your story takes tremendous courage. I am constantly humbled and honored to witness those stories. As a psychologist I work from the premise that people are deeply complex and multilayered beings. Our past, our present, and expectations of our future dictate how we navigate life's inevitable challenges. I believe that every person has the ability to have a meaningful, fulfilling life given the right tools and support. Our work will be collaborative and rooted in my genuine care and respect for you as a person.
I am professional while also being human. I am ethical while also being personable. I am serious while also using a lot of humor in sessions when appropriate. I promise you I will do whatever I can to support your growth and change, and/or help you find the resources you need. I always endeavor to create a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere where everyone will feel welcome.
What makes me unique? Not only do I love what I do, but I care deeply about the people I work with and I believe successful therapy is as much about the "fit" between therapist and patient, as it is about the skill of the therapist. I will work hard to make you feel comfortable and safe, while supporting you in reaching your unique therapeutic goals.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers
Dr. Peters is a doctor who listens, appreciates where you come from, understands your struggles and helps forge a path forward. Above all she believes in your superpower enough to make you feel empowered. I can’t thank her enough for her support and encouragement through one of the most challenging phases of my life.
