About Jill Petersen

I have always loved people and I always wanted to work in a helping profession. I worked in the non-profit sector for several years and found that so much of the hurt in people’s lives stem from not having a safe space where they feel comfortable to share their pain, problems, experiences, and hopes. I realized that I would be honored to get the opportunity to be that person for anyone in need, and I have intentionally sought out a career path that allows me to do just that.

My passion is working to aid individuals, couples, and families to achieve the goals they have for their lives and to find solutions that fit their needs. I want to be a safe and supportive space for my clients to feel heard and understood.

Difficulties in life are a certainty. However, they do not have to define you. You are not your struggles. Together we can work to build communication, develop healthy coping habits, and work towards achieving the goals that can help you obtain the life you desire for yourself, your relationship, or your family. It doesn’t have to be this way, and together I hope we can navigate through the difficult times and cultivate peace for your life.
