LCSW, 8 years of experience
Hello! I'm a Pennsylvania-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker and yoga teacher who treats anxiety, depression and trauma. I combine EMDR, somatic therapy and strength based talk therapy to help clients connect with their whole selves and live their lives more authentically. As we work together, clients become more self aware, reduce the impact of old wounds, and clear space for new patterns of thought, feeling and action. This process helps them move more freely towards the future they desire.
In my first session with clients, we go over some key background information, clarify goals and begin taking steps towards achieving them.
My style of working with clients is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. I encourage clients to approach their healing with curiosity and self-kindness, even when it is difficult. We move at a pace that allows deep and meaningful change to occur.
The clients I serve are teens and adults who feel stuck and want to live more fully and authentically. They often struggle with negative thoughts about themselves that get in their way, and they want to move past these to discover what is truly possible for them.

I really enjoyed and appreciated Robert's warmth and presence. I felt very comfortable and safe opening up with him. He put me at ease, and I am looking forward to doing the work I need to do on myself with him.

We discussed in session what brought me to Robert but honestly the small details in their profile is what drew me to them. Sometimes things happen for a reason and I trusted that he would lead me in the right direction of healing my inner child. I entered the session anxious for our first meeting and I left feeling excited for our next session!

Just feel I can be straight forward without judgement. I would say he can cut me off anytime because I can talk and bounce around a lot which may cause us to miss something but maybe we are not. So far it has been empowering and engaging, where there is a positive flow for outcome.
I use EMDR with clients who wish to release old, limiting narratives about themselves and see themselves with greater compassion and clarity. Typically the focus is on processing specific trauma, but EMDR can also be highly effective in addressing generalized fears and self judgment
I use Mindfulness-Based therapy, often in conjunction with EMDR, to help clients tune into their whole embodied selves. This approach can help folks connect with deeper feelings and yearnings, which may be living unnoticed underneath anxious thought patterns. When they tune into themselves energetically, clients often report feeling greater clarity, purpose and self compassion.
I use Motivational Interviewing as a way to help clients make decisions and effect needed change in their lives. As someone with a background in the arts, I often combine MI with creative processes such as writing or drawing to help clients bring their creative and intuitive powers into practical decision making.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I strongly support and affirm each client's gender identities, and I remain committed to affirming their right to self determination. My goal is to help all clients realize their inherent self worth, honor and live their truths, and thrive.
I use Somatic and Mindfulness-Based techniques to help clients tune into themselves energetically. This supports clear thinking, compassionate self awareness, and alignment with values and purpose.
