About Philip
He uses simple, down-to-earth methods such as mindfulness, meditation, and conversational therapy to make change feel manageable. Sessions focus on examining thoughts and behaviors, building skills to manage intense feelings, and identifying personal values that matter most. Humor and creative tools like art can be part of the process when helpful.
Philip brings about 30 years of counseling experience to his work, including work with trauma, sexual and spiritual abuse, and people wrestling with religious deconstruction. He has been an active ally on LGBTQ and racial justice concerns and aims to support people dealing with isolation, bullying, and related trauma. He prefers to talk about "emotional and mental challenges" rather than labeling people with illness.
His approach is holistic - he practices meditation and mindfulness himself and blends practical skill-building with exploration of meaning and values. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, real-life coping tools, and attention to emotional and spiritual life as needed.
Outside of work Philip enjoys reading, long walks, time with family, the ocean, and his cat. He invites people to consider therapy as a step toward feeling more empowered and connected.
Approaches for navigating feelings online
Philip uses client-centered work to meet people where they are, offering space to talk and be heard while focusing on each person’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs support naming feelings and deciding what matters most to them.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage jealousy, and shift unhelpful reactions. CBT is useful for practical problem solving and short-term behavior change.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Philip will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps.
