Dr. Phillip is very knowledgable and a great listener. I've only had three sessions with her and I am already learning so much about myself. Amazing :)

Dr Phillip pays attention to what you are saying and reads between the lines. What was a strongpoint for me was that she wasn’t afraid to pin point an issue or address something I was clearly overlooking. I would recommend Dr. Phillip!
