My name is Robert and I would be honored to be your Therapist. I have been a Social Worker for the past 20 years. The most important thing I need you to know about me and how I work is that I believe Social Work to be a calling and I truly believe in the power of Therapy to change lives. I believe that talking about the things that hurt us provides us with the power to overcome them. I am more interested in your strengths than your diagnoses. I am more interested in empowering you to make your own decisions than I am in you doing what is “right.”

Life is challenging. We are expected to manage relationships, work, sickness, finances, and other stresses. Many of us come to experience significant anxiety, shame, anger, or depression in coping with the world. Whether you are facing an immediate crisis or longstanding concern, psychotherapy can help. With over 25 years of experience, I have assisted people in developing more effective ways of living. My therapeutic approach is informed by current neuroscience research, contemporary relational psychoanalytic thinking, phenomenology, and child development research.

With all the therapists out there, choosing one can be overwhelming. Knowing how I conduct therapy and what values and beliefs fuel each session is essential. I believe that people are inherently capable of achieving their innermost desires and naturally want to evolve and heal. Sometimes, we face challenges that make us feel like things are impossible, but feelings don't constitute Truth. My job as your therapist is to guide you toward actualizing the inner strengths that you already have while teaching you new skills so you can live the best version of yourself.

Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs, adults and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic process.
