Counseling Services Designed Around You
Robert’s services are focused on helping adults overcome mental and emotional challenges with clarity and confidence. His therapeutic approach combines cognitive, behavioral, and trauma-informed strategies with genuine empathy and patience.
Anxiety Counseling
Anxiety can show up in many forms—from racing thoughts and chronic worry to physical symptoms like muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, and panic attacks. Robert helps clients understand the roots of their anxiety and teaches practical tools for managing it effectively. You will learn strategies to stay grounded, reduce excessive worry, and regain control over your mental and emotional state.
Depression Therapy
Depression affects how you think, feel, and interact with the world around you. Whether you're experiencing low mood, lack of motivation, isolation, or a loss of interest in daily life, therapy can help you begin to feel like yourself again. Robert provides a nonjudgmental space to talk openly about your struggles and works collaboratively to build a treatment plan that supports your emotional recovery and mental well-being.
Trauma Response Therapy
Unresolved trauma can impact your daily life in subtle and significant ways.

His trauma-informed approach respects your story, your pace, and your emotional boundaries. Therapy can help you reduce distress, gain insight, and move forward with strength.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a highly effective approach used to treat a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, and stress. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional suffering. Robert integrates CBT techniques to help you shift perspectives, develop new coping mechanisms, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
Stress and Life Transitions
Life transitions can include anything from moving, career changes, and relationship shifts to parenthood, aging, or caregiving responsibilities. Even positive changes can create emotional strain. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore these transitions, reduce stress, and regain your sense of balance. With Robert’s guidance, you can navigate change with increased clarity and self-awareness.
