Philip is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. He completed a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest. Before becoming a therapist, he received a BA in English at Vanderbilt University, followed by a career in construction management in Nashville, NYC and Austin. 

Philip welcomes adult clients from all backgrounds, demographics and walks of life. His approach to therapy is relational, conversational, and individual to each client as a dynamic and whole person. He works to meet clients where they are and not leave them guessing. He is as likely to draw from a song lyric as a developmental theory. 

He often works with clients on: 

• Psychological, emotional and behavioral issues and patterns

• Understanding of self, developing self-compassion

• Relationships and attachments

• Various forms of trauma and loss

• Family of origin issues

• Life transitions

• School, work, career

• Intersections of spiritual or religious path with other areas of life

His practice is grounded in the principles of person-centered therapy, and informed by mindfulness and self-compassion practices, attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, and trauma-informed models.

He feels honored to witness the change that’s possible as clients connect more fully to their inner world and develop greater insight and understanding of their experience.

Philip likes a combination of activity and stillness, and values time with friends and loved ones. He is a novice disc golfer and guitar builder. On weekends he hopes for a good coffee and pastry.

Philip is currently accepting new clients.
