Contemplative Psychotherapy Therapists in Glendale, AZ

Our practice is about helping people with connections, whether that be connecting with a partner, friend, spirit, the greater community or with self. We believe that it is in connection that we find wellness and healing.

The exploration of personal meaning and connection is the foundation of learning and potential throughout all stages of our lives. Facing the obstacles of our lives and meeting their challenges can strengthen us. Unlock your potential and feel better; find your way through loss, and learn self compassion.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship distress as an individual or a couple, I'll treat you with compassion using the most recent evidence-based research. Using an integrative approach, I tailor therapy to fit each client’s unique personality and their specific goals. If you’re struggling with unhelpful thinking patterns, we’ll work together to discover these thoughts and understand what led you astray. I’ll also help you develop a plan to improve your well-being. If you feel stuck with your goals, I can assist you in learning to accept your experiences and circumstances, particularly those that are beyond your control. If you’re questioning your life choices and purpose, we’ll delve into your existential questions and their emotional impact. My aim is to enhance your overall well-being and support you in achieving what’s most important to you.

Glendale is a large Phoenix suburb best known as home to State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena — a sports and entertainment venue-driven city that coexists with significant working-class and Hispanic communities in its western districts. The city has a large Latino population concentrated in areas like Catlin Court and west Glendale, creating meaningful demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the more affluent residential communities to the north. Banner Thunderbird Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with the broader Phoenix metro therapy ecosystem accessible to residents across the city. Glendale's blend of entertainment-sector workers, suburban families, and working-class communities creates diverse therapy demand that practitioners navigate across a wide range of presentations.
