In my work as a therapist I seek to create an environment that is caring and supportive while allowing us to identify opportunities for growth and healing. My approach emphasizes skill-building, increasing insight and helping you to return to a life that is balanced, healthy and productive. I believe that with the right fit therapy can be rewarding and even life-changing. I work collaboratively with clients to reduce distress and emotional pain related to issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns among others.

If only I knew then what I know now about the mind-body connection; the integration of breathe, the power of intuition and the transformation that comes with stillness. I know what it feels like to want to crawl out of my own skin, to look in the rear-view mirror and to rush through miscellaneous tasks without real purpose. I am talking about the difference between living and existing. The difference between doing and being. You are not alone —- but you can’t do this by yourself because if you could, you would have by now.

Depression, anxiety, trouble concentrating, behavioral problems, insomnia, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, and flashbacks are just a few symptoms that can be caused by underlying trauma. Most of us have dealt with trauma in our lives. A traumatic event could be one isolated incident, such as a car accident or death in the family. Some individuals have experienced pervasive trauma, such as an ongoing medical procedure or family discord. At Robinson Counseling and Wellness, LLC we have clinicians who been trained to effectively resolve the symptoms of trauma and provide a safe environment for healing.

It can be difficult to identify and make space for our needs for many reasons— competing obligations, the fast pace of life, or fear of rejection can get in the way. In these moments we often feel disconnected from people in our lives and from ourselves. I believe that personal exploration is essential to regaining connection, helping us attune to everything and everyone that give our lives meaning. To that end, I work collaboratively with clients to more deeply explore their sense of self and their distress, and I empower them to voice their needs and clarify the values, experiences, and relationships that matter most.

I believe therapy is a place for self-exploration and building awareness of what is holding you back from leading a more fulfilling life. Whether you have suffered a recent loss or trauma, are suffering with painful emotions or having trouble coping with a life transition, therapy is a place to be heard and supported as you navigate the difficult path towards healing. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, pulling predominately from relational and interpersonal theories, while incorporating motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral interventions when appropriate.

Life gets hard at times with increasing demands and a finite amount of resources. As creatures of habit, we tend to get stuck in what seems like a never-ending cycle. My clients come to me with a desire for REAL change. They may be managing long-standing mental health problems and/or new and chronic medical conditions. They also seek to improve their relationships and find out what makes their life worth living. In the end, my clients appreciate introspection and understanding the past, but believe that actual concrete change is needed.

The decision to begin psychotherapy takes courage, strength, and openness to the process. When one is ready to understand themselves in a more authentic way, it can be a powerful transition. I tailor my psychotherapeutic approach to each person as an individual allowing them the opportunity to learn about themselves and their interpersonal world in a safe space. At times, when one is feeling stuck, misunderstood, and/or in deep emotional pain the therapeutic process can allow for meaningful exploration of long standing repetitive patterns. Of course, such a journey to understanding complex thoughts and feelings can be difficult.
