About

Thank you for reaching out!

I am Rob and I have over 25 years of experience in the field of mental health services. I finished graduate school in 1992 and have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric care, and private practice. I've worked with individuals and families facing a variety challenges such as addictions, depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, binge eating, weight loss issues and much more.

You are welcome to message me anytime through Find A Therapist. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
