About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I attended school later in life and I have worked in different areas of social work. The areas include working with children and families that are involved in abuse situations; crisis counseling; working with adolescents in a diversion program; family counseling; and as a school social worker. I also worked with children who had emotional and behavioral problems, and substance abuse issues. I co-facilitated parenting groups that taught parents how to communicate with their adolescent children.
I am compassionate, empathetic, and I care deeply about people being happy. I am easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. I believe that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated with respect.
My goal as a therapist is for people to reach their full potential and be satisfied with where they are in life. My approaches include Solution Focused Therapy, Systems Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Writing Therapy. I work with individuals and couples.
Entering into therapy is the first step towards making positive changes and I want to be a part of your journey.
My hours are flexible and include evening and weekend availability.

Phyllis is very easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. I am so glad I connected with her. She gives me hope.

Written on Jan 05, 2026 after therapy with Phyllis for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, and family conflicts

Ms. Phyllis is very patient and understanding. She always allows me to get anything I want off my chest before she offers me advice. I feel heard and understood and cared for. She takes time and effort to really get to know you as a person and shows interest in who you are. When I talk to her, it feels like I am speaking to a trustworthy family member who is there to watch me thrive and better myself. I love Ms. Phyllis very much and am very grateful for how much I have grown in a very short amount of time! She is truly the best.

Phyllis picked me up very broken. She has guided, advised, and helped me heal to a place I didn't ever think possible.

She is a tremendous therapist. She's easy to relate to and has given great advice. I would recommend her strongly. She has been the best therapist I've found in the past 10 years.
