About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida.

My approach to therapy is eclectic, always respectful, kind and eternally optimistic that each of us has the ability to make changes and live the life we imagine. Everyone's story can have a happy ending.

Phyllis is great. She's compassionate, and gives me advice that I use throughout the day. She makes me look at things in different perspectives, and it's appreciated.

I am grateful to have Phyllis as my therapist. Her calm and present demeanor provides a safe space for me to explore my inner self. She has been an exceptional guide, helping me discover my own personal solutions and fostering a sense of inner teamwork. With her support, I’ve learned to integrate the parts of myself that feel nervous or anxious, allowing me to cultivate a greater sense of self-worth and presence.
For this reason, I continue with her on a maintenance plan, utilizing unlimited texting and meeting monthly. I believe we all deserve someone to talk to who isn’t family but is a professional. Phyllis has been particularly instrumental in helping me cope with my brother's death by suicide, providing compassionate guidance during such a challenging time. Her insights have truly empowered me on my journey, and I appreciate her support immensely.
