I go by the name Bob. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. A primary focus of my practice is encouraging an atmosphere of trust and support. I have been practicing mental health counseling for more than thirty years in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I welcome individuals, couples, and families grappling with communication issues, identity development, cultural barriers, academic/work performance challenges, life transitions, low self-esteem, and career exploration.

I honor and value each of my client's unique experiences and tailor their goals to what makes them unique and special.

Stress can be psychologically toxic, even for helpers. Loss, trauma, injury/Illness anger, shame & fatigue can lead to anxiety and depression as well as relationship and behavior problems. Therapeutic relationships improve health by assisting with psychological detoxification and with the establishment of healthy emotional, interpersonal/social, mental, and physical habits to help inoculate against these "toxins." Sometimes natural healthy defenses against toxic stress break down and fail to protect us against painful or maladaptive feelings, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us.

When our sense of safety is shattered or we find ourselves fragmented rather than whole, we can feel trapped and helpless. We may feel unable to move forward into a world that feels overwhelming or unsafe. The story we are living can feel like one of scarcity and survival rather than one of security and celebration. Counseling offers you the space to explore your story in the context of a secure relationship and discern how to write the next chapter of your story with courage and confidence.
