"I believe I have the skills that can help clients bring nutrients to the soil of their narratives and thus grow new perspectives and coping skills."

Julie Peters

FIRST STEP 

SPECIALTIES

I want to take a moment to affirm and acknowledge this first step you've taken toward self-care and healing!

 

It's not always easy to reach out for support.

 

I think therapy can be a safe space to talk about all the things that you deal with everyday. Life is complex!

 

I value helping you use creativity in order to build resilience. I’ll also share resources to help you face challenges. My strength is in listening to the nuances, silences, and subtleties in your life story and then providing ideas that may help you unscramble the

"puzzle" that is challenging you.

“I do not view humanity as split between sane & mad people (a distinction I find unhelpful, simplistic and dehumanizing). Meaning, values, experiences, relationships & emotions are more useful ideas in helping us to understand each other.”
