Great to meet you!

Hello! I am glad that you are taking the wise and potentially challenging step of seeking out therapy. Let me introduce myself. I am Paula Peterson. I chose to be a therapist because I needed to share with the world the healing that is important and possible through human connection and digging into the wounds of the past with wise and caring tools.

My favorite thing about therapy is seeking to help folks learn more about themselves and giving them space to grow, be encouraged and challenged. I have a great passion to help people to learn to listen to their body and emotions to help them be healthy and wise.

It is an honor to walk with you in this season of your life.

My approach to therapy

It is important to me that I am client centered and seek to work collaboratively to help each person find their path of healing. I have several body based healing tools that help with trauma and other stuck patterns in people's lives.

What you can expect from me

The first session is the time for us to get to know each other. I want to help you to learn about me as well as asking questions to get to know what you need from therapy. Then we decide together where we are going to go from that first session. We will come up with goals and the way we will reach those goals together.
