Does your life feel out of control and you're lacking the energy, motivation or know how to make any changes? Are you looking to live a more peaceful and fulfilling life? I'm a licensed psychologist that enjoys working with clients in helping them to live a life that is more peaceful and aligned with their desires. I engage in enlightening conversations that assist clients in identifying roadblocks and discovering the path to a better life. I have 15+ years of experience working with a diverse array of clients of various ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities. I specialize in working with clients who have depression, anxiety, PTSD and LGBTQIA+ concerns. Using a combination of evidenced based therapies, primarily focused on altering maladaptive ways of thinking, and mindfulness practices, I can help you to achieve balance in your life. Let's partner together to help you live the life that you deserve!
During our first session, time will be spent exploring what led you to seek out therapy and focusing on getting to know you so that a beginning determination can be made about the focus and goals for therapy.
My biggest strength lies in working with minority populations (eg., women, POC and LGBTQIA+ population). I identify with all of these populations and enjoy helping anyone within them to feel more empowered.
My ideal clients are either Women, BIPOC, and/or part of the LGBTQ+ community.

A great first session with Dr. Phyllis. She called out a couple things that I didn’t think was impacting my current situation and believe it will help me with progressing. Very warm, friendly, and professional as well.

The work that I do with Dr. Phyllis has improved my life tremendously. She provides actionable solutions to help me cope with trauma and the resulting anxiety. She is kind, relatable, and affirming. I whole heartedly recommend her to friends and anyone who is in need.
