About me

I am a Mental Health Counselor with many years of experience. Life is difficult and talking helps. I have worked with thousands of individuals and families across the Country and I know that happiness (or peace of mind) is a reasonable goal for everyone, no matter what the circumstance. I have cut my teeth in this field. I have worked with homeless people, and the heirs to multibillion-dollar fortunes as well. I have worked with all manner of disabled people, those with severe and persistent mental illness, and those who would colloquially be considered "worried-well." I am also a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor. I truly love helping people break apart their bad habits and learn to experience the joys of a healthy lifestyle.
As your therapist, I will help you learn to pinpoint the source of your distress, and show you powerful techniques to get rid of the problem. Therapy is a collaborative process. We will work together and problem-solve all the different ways to get you living your best life as quickly as possible.

Working with Robert has been amazing. I had 3 other therapists before him. The primary difference between them and Robert is that he doesn’t just listen to me ramble on for 30 minutes straight. He will interrupt when he needs to and asks me challenging questions to rethink what I just said. Working with him has been such a blessing! Highly recommended!

I am very fortunate to have Robert through Betterhelp. He is a good listener and he helps me process issues and break them down to plan on making constructive change. I highly recommend him!

He’s been so helpful & responsive so far! I feel like I can talk to him in a way that feels natural & he responds so well. He lets me talk openly in a way that makes me comfortable & is effective, is good at structuring the session, replies quickly, is willing to work with my schedule, & is focused on my desire to learn CBT tools. Highly recommend!

Robert is extremely knowledgeable, he was able.to guide me to understand why i was feeling the way i was. I highly recommend him. With only one call with him, immediately he was able to pinpoint the direction i needed. Sometimes you just need the extra push to see the bigger picture. Thanks again Robert.
