Therapist

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or trapped in your own thoughts. You replay conversations, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or carry experiences you rarely talk about. You've learned to keep functioning while bearing the weight of it all. As someone who has been on the other side of the badge and now serves as a licensed clinician, I understand what it means to bring difficult experiences home with you. When accustomed to being strong for everyone else, therapy can be where you finally take care of yourself. Let me help you quiet the spiral and reclaim your life.

As a former law enforcement officer, licensed clinical social worker, and current children’s social worker, I bring both professional training and real-world-experiences to therapy. I understand that asking for help can make it uncomfortable-especially for people who are accustomed to being the one others depend on.

Therapist

I’ve worked as a therapist for the past ten years, helping people untangle their stories and find compassion for the messy, imperfect parts of being human. My own experiences as a client deeply shaped my approach. I bring empathy, warmth, and a genuine understanding of how vulnerable therapy can feel. I work with clients of all ages, from tweens to adults, to build insight, resilience, and self-acceptance. My style is collaborative and grounded in authenticity, humor, and humanity. Above all, I aim to create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and free to explore what healing might look like for you.

Navigating our way through life can be tough, and sometimes all it takes is some outside perspective to help us figure things out, and they can lend us that perspective. Sometimes it takes a lot more work to feel better, and I have the tools, experience, empathy, patience, and understanding to assist you.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma, depression, disruptive behaviors, and self-doubt. I support clients who feel challenged or overwhelmed and those seeking to develop healthier coping skills.

Hi, I'm Robin! I help individuals and couples break painful patterns rooted in anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship disconnection. Whether you’re facing life challenges, relationship conflict, ongoing issues with anxiety or low self-esteem, I use a variety of modalities to support healing, emotional safety, and deeper connection. I also work with LGBTQIA+ & Ethical Non-Monogamy community. My care is warm, direct, and non-judgmental. I am trained in (EFT) Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, completed a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Competency Course, and more recently enrolled in the Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate Course. I am also a certified yoga teacher (2008) and will integrate that into sessions at times. I love connecting the body and mind.
