About Robin
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 the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with a B.A. in Psychology, I spent the following two years as a financial analyst on Wall Street. Truly a fish out of water, I took some time to find my way back to my early interest in psychology.
​
With a passion for both teaching and counseling, I returned to school and completed an M.A. in Education from the University of Denver in 1994 and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado in 1996. I worked initially as a middle school counselor, and then as a staff psychotherapist and parent educator at a community counseling center.
In 2005 I opened my own psychotherapy practice in Boulder County where I see children and parents.
​
An avid learner, I continue to explore new ways to facilitate awareness and empowerment in the clients I am honored to work with. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, a Certified EMDR Therapist, a parent coach, and a graduate of Boulder’s Hakomi Institute for Experiential Psychotherapy. I regularly attend trainings and workshops on trauma resolution, attachment, mindfulness, body-centered therapy, ego state therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
​
Additionally, as a parent myself, I continue to learn each and every day. There is no training quite like parenting. It is the most humbling, enlightening, challenging and ultimately, rewarding and life changing job I have ever had.
In my free time, I enjoy visiting and playing with family and friends. I love the outdoors and relish moments hiking, paddle boarding, swimming, or simply gazing outside and reading a good book.
