Robert is the 1st therapist I've talked to that I feel comfortable with. There's no judgement and it seems that he genuinely cares and wants to help.

Incredible therapist. Anyone would be lucky to have Robert on the other end. I went through a terrible divorce with children and Robert was extremely thoughtful and attentive.

He has a most fascinating and brilliant way of choosing the words, the patterns, and the in-between-the-lines moments of my storytelling. Be they moments of genuine panic, genuine confusion, or genuine amusement, (on my end of course) he always listens to the moment and asks the questions that are meant to bring me back into the room. Something to hold onto, the examine, the weight of his words are exemplified by the humor, kindness, and personalized toolsets he offers me to shape my thoughts. Philosophically he is rich which insight and emotionally he is inquisitive, supportive, and exceptionally mindful. I am rather grateful for his practice, and so enthusiastic whenever he reflects on the inner workings of my mind.

Robert has been a pleasure to work with. He’s kind and easy to talk to. I appreciate that he helps me find the bright side of situations and I feel like he’s rooting for me to succeed. He helped me understand healthy levels of push back and that’s something I’ll remember forever. Thanks Robert!
