Robin is such a great fit for me -- she is able to listen to my rambling and summarize it in a way that I feel she gets me. then we work on steps I can take to move forward. So happy to have been connected to her for my support!

Therapist Fit-at-first-sight is certainly even more rare than Love-at-first-sight. It is quite grounding and clearing for me to have found it in Robin. I'm enjoying the different approaches to journaling, and frank discussions. What a relief to have found a fantastic partner to help me wade through middle age problems!

Robin’s counseling is all I believe a person would hope to find in their therapist… friendly, engaging, calming, a great listener and expertly helps her patients discover deeper appreciation for the small changes that are required (in thinking, action and personal perspectives) that aid in overcoming the debilitating challenges of life.
