I have a Masters (M.A.) and a Doctorate (Psy.D.) in Counseling Psychology. I also specialize in Wellness for Women and Women of Color.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self- esteem, confidence, depression, & coping with life changes.
My therapeutic approach is wellness-based care and a combination of Psychodynamic, CBT, and Client-Centered Therapy.
I work with my clients to create an open, safe and therapeutic environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Dr. Phillip is very knowledgable and a great listener. I've only had three sessions with her and I am already learning so much about myself. Amazing :)

Dr Phillip pays attention to what you are saying and reads between the lines. What was a strongpoint for me was that she wasn’t afraid to pin point an issue or address something I was clearly overlooking. I would recommend Dr. Phillip!
