Robert is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience specializing in working with adolescents, young adults, and their families. His approach combines warmth and humor, along with evidence based cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients navigate life’s challenges and reach their potential.

​

Robert helps families understand how the developing teenage brain influences their child's mood, decision-making, and impulse control. This neurological perspective gives parents practical insight into why teens are at higher behavioral risk than adults, and teaches them how to respond effectively. Robert guides parents in establishing clear boundaries around the rules, safety, and expectations that support healthy development.

​

Robert’s therapeutic approach focuses on effort and learning over

perfection. When clients embrace that mistakes are essential to growth, rather than failures to avoid, progress accelerates dramatically. Robert empowers young people to recognize their agency in shaping outcomes and helps families to see crisis as an opportunity for meaningful change.

​

Robert also specializes in helping young adults who are still living at home develop the skills, confidence, and motivation to launch successfully into independent life. He works with both the young adult and their family to navigate this delicate transition, addressing everything from practical life skills to the emotional dynamics that can keep families stuck in unhelpful patterns.

​

Robert spent 18 years at Of One Mind, a behavioral health facility, working in both residential and outpatient settings. Robert served as Clinical Director for a decade before launching his solo private practice in 2026. He now offers individual therapy, family therapy, and parent support sessions.

 

In addition to his clinical work, Robert provides parent education seminars on navigating modern parenting challenges such as managing technology and screen time, to strengthening the family connection in the digital age. Robert also educates parents on adolescent development and effective intervention strategies.

 

Robert received his BA in English from The George Washington University and his MA in Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
