Hello, my name is Robert. If you are like other people and feeling the pressures of everyday life then the stress from the cares of attempting to live a normal life are working overtime. The pace today is more hectic. People need help. Everyone deserves a safe place and a stable environment. I find the most effective ways to help people feel comfortable with therapy is a welcoming attitude with curiosity about their experiences that have brought the person into the session. My approach is to build a strong therapeutic alliance, provide acceptance, and focus on the present moment without judgment to help people gain the skills for managing complicated situations. Clients have often stated the experience was easy to discuss their issues without worry and they felt non-judged regardless of the situation. We will work together to discover what works, promote healing the whole person, and help understand the dynamics of existing relationships to choose to respond in a rational way to master life to the greatest extent possible. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you’re making the right choice. In our sessions together I’ll meet you with compassion and with evidence-based strategies so you can build resilience, and stability to find the supports you need.
Our initial meeting will help each have time to get to know each other and for helping me understand your need in how best to help you. I recognize initial meetings can be tough. My goal is our initial session will benefit both.
Some of my personal strengths that have benefited clients are perseverance, realistic, flexible, hard working, deeply engaged, and empathetic. A population with an area of need that I have been privileged to work with has been helping those in recovery from addictions. The relapse process is often a product of volatile environmental situations that folks easily break apart from their recovery that tends to repeat in patterns that are intractable. I have found these particular strengths have served me well with my therapeutic work with addictions.
I am open to work with individuals and couples who are in need. A big predictor of outcome with treatment is the extent of engagement with the sessions on both the client and the therapist. I will take the time to get to know the person in the environment in order to know how to help the best way possible.

Meeting with Robert has really shown my partner and I not only more about each other, but more about ourselves. It's been really interesting learning how we work independently and together in our relationship. He has really taken the time to figure out what it is that we're looking for in this relationship. We really enjoy spending our sessions with Robert and we would highly recommend him!

He is very genuine and is willing to use his own life to show that everyone faces adversity and challenges but that you can always overcome it
