Contemplative Psychotherapy Therapists in Peoria, 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.

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.

Peoria is a large northwest Phoenix suburb stretching from established neighborhoods near Glendale up to Lake Pleasant's fast-growing master-planned communities, popular with both young families and retirees and known for its spring training baseball complex. Mental health needs span parenting and family stress in newer subdivisions, retirement adjustment, and the relocation loneliness common in a city where many residents are recent arrivals. Phoenix's West Valley provider network and the metro's broader therapy market serve the community.
