BCBS, OHP, Cigna, Providence, or direct payment ($125/session)Robbin believes that taking the first step to seek help for mental health 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 strengths-based lens.

When working with young children Robbin will typically invite caregivers to be active participants in the therapeutic process. 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, Play-Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
