More about Robin

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW, LICSW

There are times in our life where we reach a point that we realize something may not be manageable anymore or has gotten bigger than we anticipated. Often people may be feeling stuck or out of control. Whether it's improving your mood, setting boundaries with others, adjusting to a new phase of life, exploring past trauma or your substance use coming into therapy is taking the first step to implementing change. Therapy provides a safe space where you can explore what is going on and challenge yourself. You oversee your therapy and I follow your lead. I am there to guide you. We will go through the process together.

My style is direct and transparent. I try to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere using respect, empathy, humor, compassion and confrontation. I utilize a combination of traditional and alternative treatment techniques. Therapies offered: DBT based skills, emotion regulation, healthy relationship skills, coping skills, CBT, spirituality, talk therapy, client centered therapy, grounding, anchoring and relaxation techniques. My hours of availability are mainly M-F during the day. If you have other needs we can discuss this and possibly work something out. I am available for "chat sessions" on some evenings or weekends.

The issues and my specialty areas are but not limited to:

• Anger Management

• Anxiety

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Robin is exactly the therapist I need. She doesn't let me get away with making excises and is able to put things in perspective in a way that makes me able to really get to the heart of the issue and be accountable. Highly recommend her.

Robin is NO NONSENSE in the best way. She calls me out in a way I can hear. And is direct, doesn't let me get away with behaviors where I'm undermining myself , is patient, and is a great listener. I've made more progress under her than any other therapist I've ever had. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Robin has been so helpful in helping me learn how to focus and ground myself during anxiety inducing moments (of which there are many!). I'm still a work in progress, but it's helpful to have someone to talk about my small wins from the previous week while learning new techniques to help me cope going forward. I feel like she genuinely wants me succeed in becoming a self-loving and much less worried person and I look forward to each session.

Robin is so wonderful and really creates such a welcoming space for clients to talk openly and freely about their experiences! I’ve absolutely enjoyed my time with Robin and I’m very confident in her expertise as a counselor!

Reviewed July 2021

This relationship works really well for me. It's been helpful with processing everything. I can talk about what's in my head without worrying that it sounds bananas. The suggestions, worksheets, and feedback have all been helpful. I like that I can just dump thoughts and feelings whenever I need to. I feel heard and understood. And, I like the format. It's a lot harder for me to be open in a face to face setting. In a face to face setting, I get distracted by trying to interpret body language and tone like "What did that expression/tone/movement mean? Was what I just said crazy? Maybe I shouldn't say so much." The chat sessions are comfortable in that I can be open so this can work yet I don't feel like I'm screaming into a void. It's a good match.
