About PETRA

Petra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. She has experience working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds experiencing depression, anxiety, marital stress, life transitions, history of trauma, and more. She has the unique experience of being raised in a traditional Indian household while also growing up in a small Florida town. This, coupled with her professional experience, allows her to provide the support, guidance, and empathy that people need to feel seen and heard.


Petra earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Florida. She utilizes multiple approaches to psychotherapy, including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness.


It is totally normal to experience struggles in everyday life. Petra knows how hard it can be to ask for help, and she wants to extend a hand out to you now. Whatever it is you are going through, she will sit with you on your journey of personal growth to overall happiness. If you are willing and ready, schedule an appointment with Petra today!
