Robin is a kind, collaborative, and open-minded therapist who works with both individuals and couples at Pacific Behavioral Healthcare. Her clinical work is grounded in an appreciation for the complexity of each person’s history and the belief that people come by their struggles honestly. She approaches emotional challenges with curiosity and compassion, viewing them as meaningful opportunities for reflection, healing, and growth rather than problems to be judged or fixed.
In her work with couples, Robin is dedicated to helping partners deepen emotional connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust and intimacy. She has experience working with couples impacted by betrayal trauma and supports partners in navigating the intense emotions that often follow breaches of trust. Robin helps couples identify and transform negative interaction patterns, foster deeper understanding of each partner’s emotional needs, and emphasizes creating a safe, affirming space where both individuals feel heard, valued, and secure. Her work supports couples in moving toward repair, renewed closeness, and lasting relational change.
Robin also works with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional and interpersonal concerns, including anxiety, depression, shame, identity development, trauma, betrayal trauma, suicidal thoughts, and relational distress. She draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), integrating these modalities in a flexible, values-aligned way that is tailored to each client’s goals and lived experience.
Welcoming people exactly as they are and wherever they may be in their journey, Robin strives to create a therapeutic space where individuals can show up fully and authentically. She considers it a privilege to support clients through the courageous work of self-understanding, emotional healing, and meaningful change.
Prior to her clinical training, Robin was a partner dance instructor for over 15 years. This background continues to inform her sensitivity to nonverbal communication, relational attunement, and the subtle dynamics of connection, coordination, and trust that emerge between people.
