that offers counsel to those in crisis, grief, trauma
and transition.

Endurance, Excitement, Enthusiasm and Entertainment.
Phyllis has a tremendous ability to reach out to
people from all walks of life. She encourages people
who feel intimidated by professionals and/or family
members to ask the appropriate questions.
Many people who do not know how to relate to people's
grief makes it difficult for someone who is in crisis,
grief, trauma or transition to express their feelings.
Phyllis has been there for the "Brokenness of
the Homeless." She has given them hope, along
with gentle instructions on how to cope with daily
minute to minute Life and Health threatening challenges
that enter all aspects of their lives.
Phyllis has this amazing copeability of blancing
challenging circumstances that occur in her life,
while still maintaining a foundation of strength with
a calmness of confidence and competence which helps
others to be able to rest in that assurance. This
is most beneficial to those in need of help, understanding
and encouragement. That understanding and encouragement
is always there no matter what the age or gender.
Phyllis states, "Life has been, is, and always
will continue to be an optimistic journey. The reason
why: knowing and loving thyself from within is my
expertise. I live with my colorful drapes of Encouragement,
self respect, trust and truth."
Beneficial Encouragement has no boundaries.
