Professional statement

Philip takes a person-centered, Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed approach to therapy, creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their inner world at their own pace. His work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when all parts of ourselves—including those shaped by trauma, shame, or survival—are met with curiosity and compassion.

Drawing from psychodynamic and somatic approaches, Philip helps clients understand how past relationships and experiences continue to shape their emotions, behaviors, and sense of self in the present. He also supports clients in reconnecting with their bodies, recognizing that healing is not only something we think about, but something we feel and experience. This integrated approach can be especially supportive for those navigating issues related to intimacy, and sexual wellness.

Philip believes each person carries an inherent capacity for growth and self-healing. By helping clients identify their strengths and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, he supports greater emotional resilience, self-trust, and empowerment. Therapy with Philip is collaborative and relational, offering both insight and practical tools to help clients feel more grounded, connected, and aligned with their authentic selves.


Message to clients

Welcome, if you found your way here, you're ready to embark on self-discovery and find deeper healing and quality of life. Together we can create a therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

I offer an affirming, supportive therapeutic home and am passionate about co-creating a safe creative environment. You are the expert in your own experience; you already possess the strengths that will help.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I specialize in supporting clients through relationship challenges and sexual wellness, anxiety, PTSD, gender-affirming care, and men’s issues. Whether you're queer, trans, cisgender, straight, or anywhere else on the gender/sexuality spectrum, I provide a judgment-free space to explore these topics.

Some issues I offer support around include transforming negative self-beliefs, trauma informed therapy, intimacy challenges, dysfunctional family dynamics, substance use, and life transitions . I have a special interest and experience working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
