About
Hi, I'm Peter.
My belief is that people are capable of profound growth when they have the right combination of understanding, acceptance, and practical action. My work focuses on helping adults and couples, often parents, who feel stuck in patterns of stress, disconnection, or self-doubt.
Life in the Bay Area can make it hard to slow down. You're managing your career, family, and expectations and you want to feel more connected in your relationships and confident in yourself, but the same issues keep resurfacing.
In my work with clients, I take a clear, direct, and compassionate approach. I integrate insight-oriented therapy with tactical tools that help you make meaningful progress. I'll help you understand the "why" behind your patterns, and together we'll develop a plan to help you change them.
If you're ready for therapy that's practical, respectful, and truly impactful, I'd love to help you get there. Sessions are offered online throughout California and in person in the Bay Area.
My approach to therapy
I have a relentless belief in people's ability to make positive changes in their lives. Real transformation doesn't come from willpower alone. It happens when we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves, learn to accept what we find, and take intentional action to move forward.
I don't just nod and validate, though we'll absolutely create space for empathy. I provide structure, challenge, and direction because therapy should feel impactful and real.
The clients I work best with
Successful on the outside, stuck on the inside
Many of my clients are adults or couples, often parents, who are managing demanding careers, family life, and the invisible pressure to keep everything together. You may look successful on the outside, but internally you feel:
- 01Disconnected from your partner or yourself
- 02Caught in self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or perfectionism
- 03Overwhelmed by trying to “do it all”
- 04Ready for change, but unsure where to start
My background
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I serve clients across California online and in person in the Bay Area. Over the years, I've specialized in working with:

My philosophy
You're not broken. You're human.
I believe therapy should feel respectful, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. It's not about labeling or diagnosing your humanity. It's about understanding what drives your behavior and how that knowledge can improve your relationships and your life. With the right support, understanding, and direction, you can create meaningful, lasting change.
