About
Everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. Counseling services are designed to help clients unlock their potential and achieve their goals. After receiving the benefits of mental health support, Petra, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, decided to pivot her career and offer the same opportunity to others. Petra holds fast to the "wounded healer" model of helping. Petra believes in the power of storytelling. Narrative therapy invites people to separate their problems from their personhood, encouraging individuals to make room for more preferred stories.
