About me
Greetings. Thanks for checking in. I am licensed in Oregon and Idaho with 22 years of professional, clinical work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse and neglect, grief and loss, and depression. I have specialty working with trauma and assisting adoption reunions. I am a Registered Clinical Supervisor for Idaho and a Substance Use Disorder Professional. I have extensive experience providing EAP services. I also have a Clinical Private Practice serving Idaho, Oregon and soon Washington accessed via Psychology Today website.
I do NOT provide couples counseling, youth and family counseling, evaluations of any kind for court purposes including custody or fitness to work.
I do NOT allow no shows. Late cancellations, less than 24 hours are discouraged and only allowed under special circumstances.
*All sessions are scheduled first come, first served.*
I DO provide brief and long-term psychotherapy services to individual adults over the age of 18 years old. I also provide professional consultation regarding mental health topics in the primary care setting to Physicians and Allied Medical Professionals.
I DO work with all Clients to create an open and safe environment, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or shame. There's a sign over the door: "all feelings are welcome here."
My style is direct and purposeful. I hold high expectations for progress. I am noticing many "visitors" on the Betterhelp website platform. If you have a 1-month free trial, please select another Therapist. I am only interested in working with New Clients who are committed to the process of change and not just "trying it out." I have a person centered, trauma informed, clinical practice stance. My Betterhelp Clients show remarkable progress in a short amount of time and the work is very satisfying.

Great individual with a working knowledge on therapy, not my cup of tea but not everything works out.

Very good listener. He helps me through when I breakdown, tells me it’s okay to feel that way and just to keep breathing. He helps me understand the “why” for some of the ways I feel and I feel very confident in him. I have felt so much better since I’ve been seeing him. He’s very easy to speak to and that’s huge for me. I highly recommend him.

Robert is kind, caring and always think outside the box to help and honor his clients learning style and emotional wellbeing.

Robert embodies in spades everything I could hope for in a therapist. Presented with a weighty suitcase of anxiety, depression, pandemic-related issues, and past abuse, Robert has gently started to help me unpack the messy contents of my life in the last four weeks. With kindness, great knowledge and expertise he already has provided tools to iron out some wrinkles; and we have a great map to conquer the rest.
Robert provides a safe environment to speak openly, a shared breath when emotions peak, and a good laugh at the best times. I highly recommend him.

His experience and knowledge leads me through those hard moments of therapy. Being a voice of reason when one is greatly needed.
