About

Therapy with Robin

My passion and gift to the world is to offer safe and supportive spaces for those who feel called to focus on their mental health and wellbeing.  I believe that we all have innate wisdom inside of us, but sometimes we don't know how to access it or fully believe it.  That is why, sometimes, we need a therapist to help us feel safe enough to take that journey inward, and to feel empowered to trust our inner knowing.  Together, we can explore and integrate new possibilities, new perspectives, and new ways of being!

What to Expect

Therapy tailored to you

Person-Centred

This is your journey, and as such, you are in the driver's seat.  You get to choose where we go, and with me as a compassionate guide in the passenger seat, we can collaboratively explore options on how to get there.  I may present to you a buffet, where you can take what resonates with you, and leave what doesn't.  (And yes, I use a lot of analogies and metaphors)

Holistic

I believe in an approach that addresses not only the mind, body, heart and soul, but also the social, cultural, political and environmental factors involved in our experiences, taking into account the interconnected nature of our being and the complexities of the world we live in.

Integrative & Eclectic

I incorporate aspects from various therapeutic approaches, depending on what fits for you.  This can include  Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT),  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Approaches. 

Personal

I weave together teachings from my own personal experiences and interests along with my formal education, training, and research in psychotherapy, counselling psychology, social work, neuroscience, philosophy, spirituality, plant medicine, and alternative healing.

About

Unfolding Lotus

This name is symbolic in many ways...  The lotus flower represents the process of growing from the deepest darkest muck.  Oftentimes in life, we find ourselves in the muck and the mud, and we think "how the heck am I going to get out of this darkness?" â€‹

Well, my dear, you are just like the lotus.  You have it in you.  Sometimes we just need a little support and compassionate guidance to remind us how strong and capable we really are. 

“The lotus flower is a reminder of the beauty that comes
from change, the magic that a new beginning brings, and
the seed of potential that’s buried in the most unlikely places.”
