First time therapy goer here. I was so very lucky to be paired with Robin on the first try. We have been working together since 2020 and it has been an amazing experience. She is so positive, validating, and really understanding. For someone who does not get much affirmation in their life, having Robin acknowledge me has been so helpful and rewarding. Our conversations are always so engaging and I always look forward to our weekly video chats. I highly recommend working with her.

I was nervous about starting an online type of counseling and also with a whole new therapist, but Robin makes you feel very comfortable and welcome! She asks questions to make you think and process that help guide you into what you can do to better yourself. I appreciate the few sessions I had with her, I decided I needed to take a break on counseling, simply because work and life in general had been too hectic for me to concentrate on this aspect of my life. When I let Robin know this, she was very supportive and didn’t make me feel guilty or worry about this decision. She’s very experienced in what she does and I think she’s great to work with!

Difficult circumstances are still in my life, and I have grown in courage and confidence in my ability to face them.
