I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona (LPC) and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio (LPCC) and I have been working in the counseling field since 1987. I have, also, been an Adjunct Professor in the Counseling Department at Paradise Valley Community College since 2014. I have experience conducting individual, couples, family, and group therapy, in-office and online working with clients presenting a wide range of issues including, depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship and parenting issues, family conflict, and teen concerns. I have worked with clients that present issues that include, grief/loss, insomnia, addiction, trauma, abuse, as well as personal growth, adjustment issues, coping with life changes, and work-related issues.
I see every person (client) as unique and having special personal qualities. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My counseling style is warm and interactive and I am an excellent listener. My person-centered approach combines, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to set goals to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek 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!

Bob is an amazing therapist with the benefit of life experience to fully understand mid life and family trauma issues. He has both the academics and clinical, but most important to me he has wisdom only years reward you with. Be prepared to take ownership and responsibility and work for the peace you deserve.

Bob has been such an extraordinary help for me. I was skeptical as a queer woman about meeting with a cis male, but he’s been very sensitive and respectful of my concerns. He always lets me get out what I need to say and has very constructive things for me to think over and use as tools to help me. Thanks Bob:]
