Even as a young person I found myself offering a compassionate ear and delighting in the dynamic process of self-discovery. Ironically, upon graduating from college as a psychology major, I spent the next two years as a financial analyst on Wall Street. Truly a fish out of water, I took some time to re-discover my earlier interest in psychology.
As I embarked on my own inner journey, I was fortunate to have the support of some very gifted and compassionate therapists. Through counseling I developed greater self-awareness and self-compassion. I began to shed old patterns and live more authentically. Gradually, I was able to see personal challenges as doorways to more satisfying ways of being with myself and relating to others.
I believe there exists in all of us a natural impulse to grow and heal. It is this inner wisdom that enables us to move towards change despite obstacles.
I see my role as a guide – I help you find your way. I approach the counseling process from the perspective of essential wholeness - a belief in the client’s innate wisdom and resourcefulness. Towards this end, I create a safe place for you to talk. I listen with compassion and without judgment. I invite and encourage your input, tailoring my approach to meet your needs and goals.
In terms of a specific therapeutic orientation, I enjoy blending a variety of therapeutic modalities including cognitive therapy, mindfulness, body awareness, EMDR, experiential therapy, insight work and play therapy (for children). I also provide information and resources on relevant topics as needed.
I believe we are all inherently wise, knowing and resourceful.
Sometimes we simply need help finding our way.

“I have worked with a lot of different therapists over the years and Robin seems really unique in the way she listened to me - without criticism, without judgment. I always felt she was incredibly thoughtful in her response. She has so much knowledge and experience.” -KK
“Everybody is so ready to tell you what to do. Very few people are willing to work with you to help you do what you want to do. Robin really is amazing in that way.” -KS
“Parenting has a way of either driving people into their deepest habit patterns or waking them up to the present moment. Robin’s approach emphasizes awareness of the present moment. I know my wife and I got amazing perspective from working with her.” -Roy Steinbock, MD of Mindful Pediatrics
