Robert has been wonderful to work with. He has great wisdom and has helped me to gain more confidence and provided me with suggestions that have been very practical. He is an excellent listener also. I highly recommend Robert.

My experience with my first therapist was unpleasant because I felt like a spectacle, rather than receiving the support I needed to cope with my grief. However, Robert has been incredible, providing me with a safe and understanding space to work through my struggles.

Robert is an excellent therapist. He listens to you, navigates the conversations very well, even though we have a significant age gap he is still very relatable. After two sessions he’s already been a game changer for me. I look forward to continuing to work with him to achieve my goals.

Robert has helped me begin a journey that I’ve needed some guidance on for a long time. I appreciate his soft, yet assertive approach to helping me recognize patterns, and his willingness to listen, understand, and remember what you share with him. I’m very grateful for this, I was having a really hard time finding a consistent therapist before this
