Throughout our life we experience changes, transitions, and milestones that challenge us, provoke reflection, and sometimes stop us in our tracks. My work is dedicated to honoring these moments and working collaboratively to turn potential obstacles into momentous achievements. Inspired by compassion-focused therapy, my goal is to offer a space which invites thoughtful self-examination, devoid of shame, judgement and self-criticism. Through this honest practice you will be able to identify, seek and strengthen the connections that empower you.

I work with teens and adults that are looking to discuss their troubles, adjustments and triumphs with warm support. My approach for my clients is a combination of collaborative reflection and strategic action toward their goals. My work focuses on feeling heard, managing life's challenges with healthy coping strategies, replacing old habits with more functional ones and expanding our understanding and love for ourselves. I run therapeutic hiking groups that address the shared struggles of preteens, teens and adults. Most commonly girl's and women's issues around topics like self-love, disconnection and anxiety.

I am a senior clinician with over 30 years experience in private practice, supervision and teaching. I work with clients on every issue and challenge inherent in being a human being, with a special ability to help people who don't feel at home in the mainstream and find it hard to be their true selves: introverts, highly sensitive people, artists, thinkers, people-pleasers, people with blocks to reaching their full potential. Authenticity, self-actualization, self-acceptance and connection to one's inner self are important concepts in my work.

My name is Robert and it would be an honor to be your therapist. The biggest complaint that I hear from people about their previous experiences with therapy is that their therapist didn't DO anything. That's not me. I have a very active, solution-focused approach. Not only do I want to be there for you as an empathetic listener and learn to speak your emotional language, but I also want to help you take ACTION. To me, that means helping you identify the problem and find skills and strategies to make an immediate impact on your situation. My approach is down-to-earth and grounded in reality.

If you or your child are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma, I can help. I offer individual sessions in the outdoors, where we take peaceful and mindful walks talking alongside each other, or via phone/video sessions for those who feel more comfortable in their own home. For those needing support and/or guidance getting through a difficult transition (relationships, work, school, crisis, medical), we can work together to get you on the road to peace and security.

It's possible to access your inner wisdom and feel a sense of safety and belonging in this world; to hear your soul's calling and respond; to live into your deepest truths. When change is desired, the psychotherapy process transforms overwhelming fears, frustrations, and responsibilities into guides that keep one true to one's authentic path. I am here to journey with you; to help you create a place for your most sacred aspects of self so that you can feel more connected to yourself, to others, and to the world.

Two innate drives we all share are the desire for self love and connection to others. By integrating the practical application of system based theories with structured skill building and holistic medicine, negative thought patterns and shakey attachments can be replaced in order to create the space to re-imagine one’s belief systems.

Humans are meant to have support through pain, challenges, and life's many transitions. Yet, life can feel frantic and disconnecting. You may find yourself lost in the chaos, feeling alone, depressed, or anxious. It may be difficult to find spaces where you are truly seen, understood, and accepted, let alone able to express your pain, challenges, and dreams. You are not alone in your longing to authentically speak, feel, and process your life.

You are unique, sometimes quirky with an inner world that requires management. Your pain is about being able to express what matters most, both to yourself and others. You usually manage well, but life events have become over-whelming. Currently you are feeling, lost, uncertain and the past has risen up in memory, or action to haunt the day to day. The desire to make meaning of the present and cope more efficiently, while finding joy in the current circumstance motivates you. Perhaps it is death, relationship, work or health problem that brings you to seek therapy at this time.

My goal is help people develop a healthy, authentic and sincere relationship with themselves, their bodies, and others. So many of us struggle in our lives because we are unconsciously stuck with a perspective that helped us survive in the past, but that no longer serves us in. We're afraid of our own shadow. We hide from the parts we most dislike. This hiding keeps us stuck, guarded and fearful. Using mindfulness to creatively, compassionately and courageously look into your emotional, behavioral and relational patterns can help you move into a more mindful, creative, healthy and fulfilling life.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
