Additionally, I believe positivity and empowerment are important factors in finding and maintaining one's health. I am happy to work with anyone interested. If you have a question or something on your mind, then please do not hesitate to contact me. I'm open to all inquiries big or small.

Robert is an extremely effective, empathetic counselor who has encouraged me to become my best self. He guides me with supportive questions, challenges unworkable, outdated belief systems I sometimes revert to, and believes in my abilities to achieve my dreams
