About Philip
His work centers on the person rather than a diagnosis. Sessions create space to talk through what matters most and to test strategies that fit each person. Philip encourages using creativity and everyday strengths to find solutions that feel workable.
Philip has experience across outpatient and residential settings, and has most recently worked as a substance abuse counselor. That background means he often supports people dealing with addiction and the issues that commonly appear alongside it, such as stress, depression, grief, and relationship strain.
He lists a wide range of concerns he commonly addresses, including anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, anger, career questions, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related matters. He aims to make the space welcoming for people from different backgrounds and life situations.
Philip graduated with a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2009 and holds an LCSW credential. Before social work he worked in television news, which shaped his empathy for life’s challenges and his interest in personal stories. He invites prospective clients to reflect on what brought them to therapy and to explore change together.
