Personal Statement

Not only do you have a soul, you are soul. You are the light within, shining through the prism known as the self. Like a diamond, the self is multifaceted. The person you were five, ten, fifteen years ago, for example, still exists. The self, then, is made up of selves, and each of them has a voice. All of that inner noise can drown out the voice of the real you, and confusion results.

My role is to help you truly listen, the first step toward greater freedom.

As a spiritually fluent psychotherapist--who is also an intuitive and a rabbi--I use teachings from religious traditions (Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism), techniques from psychotherapies (Cognitive-Behavioral, Internal Family Systems, Spiritual Self-Schema), and wisdom from empowerment methodologies (Insight Meditation, Spiritual Life Coaching, Twelve-Step Recovery) to facilitate the emergence of the real you. May the light you carry increase!

The nature of Light is to uncover Darkness, and the nature of Darkness is to cover Light. As an intuitive, as a psychotherapist, and as a rabbi, Robert's role is to uncover Darkness, so Light shines. And whenever Light shines brighter, Truth is revealed.
