A counseling center for hope and healing.
At Overflow, our goal is to help people through personal and relational struggles and break unhealthy patterns. We provide individual, marriage, and family counseling based on over 25 years of experience. Our approach combines the knowledge of an experienced counselor with the inner resources of each client for a collaborative healing process.
Overflow is a nonprofit Christian organization with the mission of addressing the emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of individuals, marriages, and families. Overflow provides counseling services, coaching, support, and education.
We help people with everyday struggles, both individually and relationally, to find solutions.
We do not diagnose or medically treat mental illness. We will refer to appropriate resources when we assess that such treatment is necessary.
Bonnie holds an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Connecticut. She has been counseling individuals, couples, and families for over 30 years in a variety of settings.

Bonnie is the founder and director of Overflow since its inception in 2019. The words of Christ found in John 10:10 (TPT) are a guiding verse for the ministry, “I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect-life in its fullness until you overflow.”

Phil has been on staff with Overflow since 2019 and is a Pastoral Counselor. In addition he finishing his Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and pursuing both state licensure and national board certification. Phil has been counseling teens and families in a variety of settings throughout the seacoast region of NH in his role as a counselor and a Youth Director/Pastor.
Phil’s heart is to see individuals and families reflect the fullness and wholeness with which God created them to be and experience. His time as a Youth Pastor uniquely equipped him to work with both individual members of the family as well as counseling the family unit through hurts, habits, and hang-ups. His experiences enable him to work with teens and young adults (ages 11-25) on a wide range of issues and topics. He is also passionate about helping men be what the Lord has called them to be by following the example set forth by Christ in the scriptures.
He believes this truth, “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45b) and that people’s words and actions reveal a lot about what’s going on internally. Consequently, Phil likes to help clients discover and address the source(s) of their pains, challenges, and struggles and he also tries to empower/equip his clients with tools and the truth of scripture to make long lasting changes in their lives. His hope is that clients will experience healing, hope, transformation and encouragement in all areas of life.
Phil lives on the seacoast with his wife and four kids. In his spare time he loves adventuring with family, traveling (international and domestic), cooking, coaching, farming, reading, exercising and playing sports.
