About Robin

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults throughout my career. I focus on supporting people who have struggled with abuse, neglect, traumatic experiences, failure to launch, struggles with motivation, depression, anxiety, substance use, sexuality, relationships, and working with LGBTQ folks, especially people identifying as Trans, Queer, and those who are questioning.

-    Incorporation of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
-    Use of Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) program
