Peter, Student-Clinician, Clinic Coordinator
My name is Peter (he/his), and I am a doctoral student in 老澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 Clinical-Community Psychology program supervised by Dr. Dulin. I was born and raised in Fairbanks and earned my B.A. in Psychology and Business Administration from Western Colorado University. I have previously worked with adults and youth within the criminal justice system in rural Colorado and coached my alma mater鈥檚 ski/snowboard team for several years, both of which inspired me to pursue a career as a mental health professional.
I am incredibly grateful to return to Alaska for my graduate training and future career. I strongly believe that mental health care has been inaccessible and stigmatized for too long and for too many people. I am passionate about working with individuals of all identities across the lifespan who are experiencing a range of concerns, particularly those who might otherwise lack access to care. My priority is to create a warm, safe, collaborative, and person-centered therapy experience that is unique to each client, drawing from ACT, DBT, and CBT approaches.
In my free time I most enjoy being with loved ones as well as snowboarding, hiking, and running in the mountains.
