Families are complicated. Even the good ones. Especially the good ones, sometimes. And when things are tense at home, it has a way of following you everywhere. Into your work. Into your friendships. Into the way you talk to yourself when nobody's listening.
I'm Willow Phillips, and a lot of my conversations center around family conflict, focus and concentration, and the frustrating feeling of knowing you have potential but not being able to access it. These things often go hand in hand. When your emotional world is noisy, everything else gets harder to manage.
My style is collaborative and down to earth. I'm not going to talk at you or over you. I want to think alongside you. What's actually going on? What's worked before and what hasn't? What would it look like if things were even a little bit better?
I'm especially drawn to helping people who feel like they should have it together by now and are frustrated that they don't. There's no timeline for getting your life sorted. Comparing yourself to where you think you should be is one of the fastest ways to feel terrible, and it's one of the first things we'll address.
Whether you're dealing with communication breakdowns in your closest relationships, struggling with self-worth, or preparing for something big and feeling the pressure, I bring patience, attention, and a real interest in your experience.
No two sessions look the same, because no two people are the same. That's what makes this work interesting to me, and it's what will make your sessions feel like they actually belong to you.
