For decades I been helping performing artists from around the world find freedom on stage and in life. I am a performance coach, licensed psychologist, singer, educator, researcher, and author. I believe that the path to peak performance starts between the ears, not in the practice room. My goal is to give performing artists the mental skills they need to freely share their gifts, tell their stories, and sing their songs! I co-authored Conquer Anxiety: How to overcome anxiety and optimize your performance. For over 30 years he has taught The Psychology of Music Performance at Brigham Young University

I had the experience that many others have had of going to therapy at a young age and finding it to be lacking. Very rarely was I asked what I wanted or what I believed would help me. For a long time, no one taught me how to trust my own voice. Now, I believe the greatest goal of counseling is to achieve a stronger relationship of trust and love with yourself. That is why I use evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models to guide our work together, but you will always remain the expert of your life. I want to help you learn to hear, understand, and trust your own voice.

Life can be challenging and full of ups and downs. In my experience, I have found that people often seek out therapy when they are feeling stuck and life's challenges seem too hard to tackle on their own. As a therapist, you can expect from me that I will meet you where you are at, validate your feelings, and at times challenge you to make some changes with things that are keeping you stuck. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life and stories. I will work with you to create goals tailored towards the areas you would like to grow and heal, as well as create a safe space for you to be seen, heard, and understood.

I offer a warm, safe, collaborative space to assist you on needs and goals, improve relationships, heal abuse and trauma, and go from surviving to thriving.

When things change inside you, things change around you.

Healing from trauma is not easy. I don't believe sugarcoating how difficult this process may be, is beneficial to anyone. But you don't have to go through it alone. I have been working with survivors of trauma for the last 6 years. I've specialized in working with survivors of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, intimate partner violence and abuse. I know picking the right therapist for this process may be difficult, so I encourage having a free phone consultation with me, to see if it feels like a good fit! I'm excited that you've begun this process of healing, and look forward to playing a role in your healing journey.

I bring experience and training in a variety of evidence-based mind-body-spirit approaches to help clients clear and heal from old stuck patterns and learn new tools for moving forward and allowing their personal and spiritual growth to unfold.

Welcome to High Desert Thrive! If there was one silver lining to the pandemic it was legitimizing virtual visits as a viable option to serve folks in need. I have served many individuals through my virtual practice who would never have been willing or able to access support. Making change is difficult--Therapy is a great option for those ready to move forward in their lives. I am passionate about serving my clients and assisting them in finding healing, and increasing their quality of life. I offer a safe, trusting environment to work through difficulties and improve life coping and satisfaction.

It takes courage to seek the help of a therapist. My primary concern when I first meet a client is to respond with empathy and sensitivity to the distress which brings you to my office. In an atmosphere of genuine safety and acceptance we can begin the process of collaborating to understand and resolve your concerns. I draw on a number of theoretical perspectives and more than 20 years of clinical experience to provide therapy that is as effective as possible, in a compassionate, confidential and comfortable setting.

I work well with people who feel they need help becoming clear about what they personally think, feel, and believe. Often, this manifests as depression, anxiety, or addictive patterns, all of which stand in the way of a person experiencing their own potential, and maintaining fulfilling relationships. The therapy I offer is helpful for those interested in gaining clearer perspectives on their own underlying patterns that contribute to recurring emotional and relational pain. And from there, collaborating to create practical ways forward towards transformation.

I really enjoy working with people that want to improve their sexual relationship. This is a vital part of the human experience and is highly correlated with relationship and life satisfaction. Improving sexuality is different from person-to-person or couple-to-couple. My typical clientele has issues of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, satisfaction, desire discrepancies, or out-of-control sexual behavior/sexual addiction. Those that meet with me are typical people that are really in need of a specialist with a lot of education and experience in this highly unique field of therapy.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you stressed, anxious or nervous? I am interested in helping you reduce stress, get rid of anxiety and overcome depression.

Call to find out how I can help you reduce emotional hurt and pain in your life.

When a person sits on my couch and says, "I'm ready to change," I often respond with, "I'm ready to help." Change is difficult. It takes work. But it happens. Giving time and space to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can give you a toolkit to adapt memories of the past and craft the future you've always wanted. Sometimes I think the job of a psychologist is to reduce suffering from mental illness, but more and more it's helping people thrive amidst adversity; to flourish in their life. If you want to reduce the anxiety and stress of the people closest to you, you need to thrive. You need to succeed. And I'm here to help.

Are you struggling to move forward in your life? Are you tired of trying over and over again, but getting the same result?

Working with Peter, you will feel his genuine concern and attention help bring clarity and understanding to your challenges, and you will be given the tools and help that will actually make a difference. Through empathy, focus, and effective intervention, you will be able to make progress and improve your life.

We all have a sexual story. Some aspects of our story may continue to cause pain, cause embarrassment, induce shame or guilt, keep us from fulfilling our sexual potential, block us from feeling whole or cause ongoing problems in our most intimate relationships. As a trained sex therapist, I have experience to help you address challenging aspects of sexuality integrating all aspects of sexuality including the physical, the emotional, the mental and spiritual aspects.

We all need support, life brings planed and unexpected change, transitions and requited growth. My clients may feel the pressure of perfectionism, feeling not-good-enough or second guessing themselves, feeling stuck in life. They may have physical or emotional pain and a big stress overload. Often feeling pulled in too many directions, with too many responsibilities, caring for too many projects or people. They can feel lost or adrift, that life is not progressing or as meaningful or happy as they had hoped. Grief & loss build up & worry about the ability to change can immobilize so they often feel stuck & afraid in life.
