I am a licensed psychotherapist (MS, LPC), certified career counselor, speaker, and fierce believer in what’s possible.

 

It’s time to stop resisting and start living. The magic of today is all we have.

 

If you’ve landed here, you’re ready… to acknowledge and accept the inward dialogue and outward obstacles holding you back.

Perhaps you’re navigating a difficult transition in your health or relationship.

Or maybe you’re feeling lost and unsure of your identity or career.

Whatever the circumstances, you’re looking to move forward. And I can help you get there.

We can’t control our hardships, but we can choose our response.

 
 

What if I told you that your life, as difficult or messy as it may be, is a gift with incredible purpose & potential?

How would I know? Because I’ve experienced it. I’ve battled through my own hardships and transitions, and found perspective and purpose on the other side.

Now, I’m a fierce believer in what’s possible for you.

I’m Phyllis, a licensed psychotherapist, certified career counselor and speaker based in Connecticut. I’ve provided hope, resources and healing to countless young adults, moms and people in transition over the years.

My unique blend of experience working in higher education, HR recruiting, community organizations and private practice has allowed me to intimately understand and help my clients.
