Grief counselors and therapists in Peoria, AZ

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a doctorate, a master of science in gerontology and healthcare, and certification in yoga therapy. My clinical focus is people living with serious illness, cancer, and the psychological and existential dimensions of a significant medical diagnosis.

I bring my own lived experience with malignant brain cancer to this work. That shapes how I understand fear, uncertainty, and what it means to confront something that threatens not just your life but your sense of who you are. I see clients in private practice and volunteer at local cancer centers.

I'm Sam, a therapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in trauma, substance

use and addiction recovery, anxiety, and depression. I grew up and trained in Arizona —

earning my MSW from Arizona State University — and I've spent my career working with

people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives. I have been a clinical director at several clinics over the past 6 years while also providing direct care. I work with adults,

adolescents, children, and seniors, and I provide affirming care for clients who identify as

LGBTQ+ or those navigating gender identity and transgender experience. My style is

energetic, open-minded, and genuinely empowering — I believe therapy should leave

you with more than just insight. You should leave with skills you can actually use.
