Robbin believes that starting or continuing your counseling journey is a huge gift to yourself and your family. Whether you are seeking support for your child, working to break generational patterns, or finding your path to your authentic self, taking this first step to seek help is a huge, brave step. Her approach to counseling is about prioritizing a client’s story and lived experience. She enjoys collaborating with clients to find out what kind of goals they have for counseling and tailoring each session to the client’s needs. While she brings a sense of calm and humor to counseling work, she also is passionate about and prioritizes the client’s need for safety and connection to their counselor. Robbin enjoys coming alongside clients to help them on their journey to be their most authentic and whole selves. Robbin tends to work from an attachment, trauma-informed, and emotionally focused lens.

Robbin is a provider who works with children as young as just a few days old up through adulthood. When working with young children Robbin will assess if caregiver involvement will be important in the session, or if individual child sessions are more appropriate for the given issue. She believes that parents and caregivers have the biggest impact on change in a child’s life, and wants to help them feel confident, informed, attuned to their child’s needs, and skilled to regulate their own emotions in times of strife. When working with couples, Robbin works to help the couple identify their cycle of conflict to help them both feel more connected, attached and understood by their partner. When working with adults, Robbin aims to give clients the space they need to focus on themself, so they can be a whole and active participant in life. Robbin typically draws from counseling modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Play-Therapy, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy.

In addition, Robbin has advanced training in perinatal and postpartum issues from Postpartum Support International, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) from the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy from the Oregon Child-Parent Psychotherapy Learning Collaborative. Robbin loves working with families and individuals in the stage of prenatal- postpartum and the early childhood years, including helping strengthen parent-child relationships, couples’ relationships, and sense of self in this tender time. Robbin has clinical work experience in residential treatment centers, private practice and community mental health clinics working with children, teens, college students, adults, and families.
