He is completing a PhD in Counselor Education with a specialization in crisis and trauma and holds additional certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Counselor, a Disaster Mental Health Counselor, and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. His training and research have centered on how traumatic experiences shape thinking and behavior, and he draws on that expertise to help people navigate difficult symptoms and life events.

Pete works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety and panic, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, body image and self-esteem issues, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with life changes. He also addresses topics such as attachment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, co-morbidity, codependency, communication and commitment problems, domestic violence, and men's issues. He provides care that recognizes both immediate needs and longer-term growth.

His therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based framework that helps people examine and shift the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also uses solution-focused strategies to target practical changes and Client-Centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Pete frames therapy as a collaborative process that encourages clients to move beyond comfort zones, learn new skills, and make meaningful changes toward a more fulfilling life.
