Dr. Carolyn Peterson provides HIPAA compliant virtual and in person therapy to adults in Oregon

I specialize in assisting high achieving adults through life transitions and conquering persistent self-criticism.

Are you caught in an unending cycle of feeling insufficient, regardless of your achievements or efforts?

As you navigate various roles in your life – partner, friend, caregiver, parent/child, coworker, manager, etc. – do you constantly feel like you're falling short, despite your best efforts?

You are not alone.
