M.S.-Counseling Psychology, Brenau University
Pre-licensed Therapist
Hi, I’m Phillip!
I’m a mental health therapist with a foundation in Psychology from Georgia State University and advanced clinical training in Counseling Psychology from Brenau University. My work is rooted in helping individuals and couples understand themselves more deeply, break unproductive patterns, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I believe meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, supported, and empowered. My approach is holistic and practical, integrating emotional insight, behavioral tools, and real-life application to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and intentional. I work alongside clients to explore how past experiences, current stressors, and relational dynamics shape emotional patterns and decision-making. Together, we identify what’s keeping you stuck and develop strategies that lead to sustainable change, not just temporary relief.
I focus on helping clients:
Break cycles that no longer serve them
Improve emotional awareness and regulation
Strengthen communication and relationships
Build healthier connections with themselves and others
My goal is not only insight, but action, supporting you in applying what we uncover in therapy to everyday life.
Our first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from our work together. This is a safe, supportive space where you can ask questions, share openly, and begin building a strong therapeutic foundation.
My communication style is direct, warm, and authentic. Clients often describe working with me as grounding and motivating. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering, where growth is encouraged, progress is recognized, and the process adapts to your evolving needs.
