About me

Hi, my name is Phyllis. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and have over 15 years of experience working with people in different capacities, including social work and as a therapist. I have a graduate degree in Human Services with a Specialization in Marital, Couple, and Family Therapy. I tend to view people and their concerns in context of their relationships with others. I enjoy helping clients find their voices and to learn skills they can use to get their needs met. I went into this field to help couples and families communicate more effectively. My approach to therapy is individualistic, positive, and strengths-based. I know it can be intimidating to be vulnerable with a new therapist and will do my best to ensure you feel safe while working toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Phyllis is exactly what a therapist should be: a good listener, patient, and perceptive. We felt comfortable and at ease with her from the first appointment so it was easy to be honest and say how we really were feeling. She never made us feel attacked or blamed but she clearly understood why each of us felt the way we did and offered suggestions that truly helped. Besides being smart, empathetic and compassionate, Phyllis had a great sense of humor and laughed easily (when we said things that warranted it). She took the time to get to know us and what made us comfortable so we really looked forward to talking to her. Her easygoing (but totally interested and engaged) style was perfect for us - and best of all she helped us become closer (in every way) than we have been in a long, long time. The only downside to that is that we no longer need to see her regularly!! If you are new to this (or even if you’re not), we highly (highly, highly) recommend Phyllis. It’s like you’re talking to a good friend who really cares about you and wants you to be happy - and is totally unbiased and really knows what she’s talking about. (Btw, we initially were assigned to another therapist that just didn’t work for us. I just didn’t feel a connection or that she was going to be helpful. Because I was so discouraged, I almost chucked the whole thing and gave up, but decided to give it another try and look at the list of therapists and their reviews that ReGain posted and try to find someone that might be a better fit - and as luck or fate would have it, we found Phyllis. So if you are currently seeing someone you’re not that wild about, know that you can make a change if you want. And Phyllis would be a terrific option.) Good luck!

I really appreciate Phyllis. She was an excellent counselor for my husband and I through our marriage counseling. She was very understanding, patient, and helped us communicate better. If we need to return we will definitely request to be with her again.

It is so comfortable talking to Phyllis. She has allowed me and my partner to really advance in our relationship.

It is very easy to talk to Phyllis. I’ve had therapists in the past where it was uncomfortable fully confiding in them, as I felt judged and intimidated. It feels like I’m talking to a friend with her, but it is still professional.
