You feel stuck in life and you are unsure how to move forward. You may feel alone or that you can’t talk about your more personal problems with your friends or family out of fear of judgment. Worries and self-judgments feel like weights that continually keep you down and exhaust you.  You desire a life that is not dictated by emotions. You want to be kinder to yourself and to be more effective within your relationships.  You are fully aware of just how hard it is to be human, and you are seeking someone to walk alongside you as you navigate and make sense of your life experience.   Relationships (missing and broken), life demands/expectations, trauma, depression, anxiety, undesired behaviors, and low self-esteem are a few of the common barriers that interfere with individuals experiencing greater lives filled with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. Phil’s hope is to partner with people who are curious about change and are willing to explore. Through a collaborative relationship, he seeks to understand his client’s experience and utilizes practical skills to achieve the change his clients are seeking.   Phil utilizes an integrated approach with his clients that includes elements from person-centered, existentialism, DBT, and ACT therapy. Change is hard on its own and made more difficult when attempted alone. The best chance at moving through tough times is through connection with others. Phil looks forward to connecting with you and offers services both in person and virtually.
