I am delighted that you have decided to consider counseling. I know the decision to seek counseling is important to you and hope we find I am a match for your journey of self-improvement.
I believe that all who come to counseling possess a strength and courage that allows them to create a better and more fulfilling life. Whether you are feeling frustrated, lonely or depressed, I know there are many ways for you to begin to understand yourself and make progress. You might be unhappy with your relationships or the sense that there is more to life than what you are experiencing now. You may be relatively happy with your life and relationships, but want to find an even better way to live your life. All of these issues can be addressed in counseling.
I believe the counseling relationship involves working together to develop a plan for your improvement. Sometimes you may need a listening, non-judgmental person to help you focus. Other time you may want a bit of advice on next steps. The key is to make sure you understand and trust the process so that your goals are in the forefront of each interaction. I love the ability people show with implementing change is his/her own unique way.
I have worked for many years in healthcare. I became interested in counseling through my work with sleep disorders. While a guest lecturer at Stanford, I became familiar with the mental health aspects in this field. I wanted to gain more skills in this area so embarked upon a Master's degree in counseling. Quickly I became interested in much more in mental health than just sleep disorders I began a private practice 13 years ago where I work with many different kinds of issues. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, general life changes as well as sleep related problems. It has been so gratifying to have the privilege to work with all clients who are in the process of transforming their lives.

Robert is the best thing to happen to me in therapy. He listens. acknowledges, and validates my feelings. I’ve experienced such self love through therapy in general, but robert helped me reach that point. So I thank him and recommend him to women and people who desire self love and worth.
