Central to a person’s wish to get to know oneself better through psychotherapy is the confidential relationship between the therapist and the client. This relationship can be used effectively to understand one’s patterns of thought and behavior in a caring manner. Your confidentiality will always be respected and protected.

Robin trained for four years with the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Los Angeles. She has also been a student and co-trainer at Portland Gestalt Therapy Training Institute. She has furthered her study in Collaborative Couple Therapy™ through a training group and seminars.

With her warm and caring nature, Robin supports each child and family in working through their fears, sadness, and worry as they cope with change, loss, or hurt. In the studio, children can safely express and explore their feelings through art.

Imagination and creativity contribute to children’s development and vitality. Play and artwork access and stimulate these capacities as children work through challenges, whether developmental or situational.

Some teens take to painting, too, as it allows for nonverbal, creative expression and exploration. They can also sit comfortably on the couch and talk and explore their concerns, or re-enter the playroom.

Robin offers sessions for whole families to come together.

Group psychotherapy for children going through divorce or separation (usually augmenting individual work) can be combined with separate sessions for parents & caregivers to support confidentiality.
