Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Perrysburg, OH


Hey, I'm Phil! I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and free to show up as yourself. I support adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, identity, and challenges with food, body image, and self-worth. I'm passionate about LGBTQ+ affirming care and helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We'll explore what's beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools that fit your life. Therapy doesn't have to feel like a clinical interrogation. You can expect genuine conversation, curiosity, and support as we work toward meaningful change together.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.
