Phil also has experience working with persons with comorbidities including chronic illness, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. Phil worked in entertainment marketing and public relations for over a decade before transitioning to public health. With his experience and resources in the entertainment sector and public health, Phil has had the opportunity to conduct and execute professional and leadership roles in various settings, with diverse populations, including the healthcare and the nonprofit sector. Before providing individual psychotherapy, Phil served as a medical case manager where he assessed patients' health and oversaw plans to manage their conditions and progress, as well as provided referrals to resources to address their needs. He takes on a holistic approach to therapy because he believes in addressing the “whole” person in therapy based on the eight dimensions of wellness; spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, financial, environmental, occupational, and social. Phil supports an accountable, supportive, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive environment for all clients. He encourages clients to find meaning in their past experiences and works with them to discover how those experiences are affecting how they perceive their world in the present. He believes that by gaining insight and increasing awareness, people can become more empowered to take control of how they respond to life's adversities.

Phil earned a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from The Catholic University of America, a Master of Business Administration from Webster University; and He holds a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management from Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia.
