The therapeutic bond should be collaborative, a relationship through which client and therapist work together to safely unpack life's struggles and maneuver toward a more grounded, fulfilled and peaceful existence.

Through establishing a safe, transparent and compassion-based therapeutic relationship, Philip believes we all can achieve meaningful self-worth and healthy relationships with others and the world around us.

Though he employs certain therapy modalities in his work, his client-centered approach ensures Philip is never formulaic. He believes every individual follows their own path toward healing. To that end, Philip works to keep the therapeutic experience eclectic; drawing on a combination of techniques related to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Relational Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

In his practice, Philip focuses on many of the following topics:

Self-image

Identity Development

Personal discovery and self-esteem

Trauma (including intergenerational trauma or historical trauma)

Relationship issues

Depression

Anxiety

Addiction

Intimate Partner Violence

Human Trafficking

Parenting

Life transitions or life dissatisfaction

Grief and loss
