Hi, my name is Phyllis. I am licensed in New Jersey and have over 15 years of working with people in different capacities, including social work and as a therapist. I enjoy helping clients find their voices and learn skills they can use to get their needs met. My approach to therapy is individualistic, positive, and strengths-based. I use a tailored approach to therapy for each client’s individual needs. I know it can be scary to be vulnerable with a therapist and will do my best to ensure you feel safe while working toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

 What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During sessions with me, clients can expect to feel nurtured and supported. I am a listener and will not more more quickly or slowly than you'd like. I will help you see your positive qualities and traits and build on them. I will help clients identify where they would like to go and identify changes that can be made toward those preferred futures. When clients walk away from sessions, they can expect to feel empowered and ready to take on new challenges.

 What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy & Trauma-Focused Therapy.

 Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

 My biggest strengths include helping clients feel seen and heard. I can help clients see stregnths and postive attributes they may not have acknowledged before. I have an approachable personality that can help people feel welcome and at ease.
