My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them and will help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey toward healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve. Together we can discern a path toward a more balanced and joyful life. Emotional/spiritual growth and symptom reduction are the primary focus of practice.

I have more than 7 years of experience working with survivors of trauma due to domestic and sexual violence, anxiety, depression, and more.

I believe every client is unique and will be on a different part of their journey when they come to therapy. Due to this, I strive to meet each client exactly where they are at with a compassionate and empathetic approach.

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.

Life is a gift but can be tricky and downright challenging. Sometimes we need a helping hand. That is where I might come in.

I work with churches to help them with ministering to the hurting, please let me help you.

Living and experiencing positive life events while coping with a mental health disorder is possible, as is finding peace within the chaos.

I am very big on reminding my clients that to care for others as parents, caregivers, and all other roles we take on, we must first care for ourselves.

I have been a psychologist for 30+ years, and in the past year I've transitioned to a telehealth-only model so that you can receive treatment from the comfort of your home. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I treat adults with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma/abuse, adjustment disorders, and work-related stresses. In session, I strive to be caring, compassionate and conscientious, but with a side of humor, since I think it's important that we don't take ourselves too seriously as we try to navigate and adapt to life's many challenges and stressors. I also believe that therapy should be a collaborative effort, with patients being empowered as change partners rather than as someone "broken" needing to be fixed.
