: welcome

I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy services in the Minneapolis and St Paul communities for over 30 years. I strive to provide a safe environment where we can explore areas of your life that are difficult or may block you from where you want to be. I will help you capitalize on your strengths and assist you in gaining a better understanding of your difficulties. Ultimately, we can discover together what works best for you in creating a more satisfying life.

Deciding to seek help is an important step and people enter psychotherapy for many different reasons, anger, anxiety, relationship issues and some are not exactly sure what is not feeling right to them. Sometimes people need to focus on issues that continue to be problematic in spite of previous therapy and personal efforts. Seeking out psychotherapy is the first step toward not just symptom relief, but to help gain greater emotional awareness in order to better fulfill ones needs and to increase life satisfaction. I strive to provide the help people need, to grow toward their potential. Knowledge is power and knowledge about yourself allows you to relate better to others and deal with whatever comes your way.

: more about robert

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a masters degree in Counseling Psychology. I have been counseling in some capacity for over 30 years and have devoted my professional life to helping people through psychotherapy.

I like helping people to be freer and happier in their lives, and I appreciate the sense of connectedness that develops as I work with people in therapy. It is also very gratifying to provide an environment that people can use to become more truly themselves in life, to participate with them as they do it, and to see the wonderful effects in their lives that result from our work. I also like the intellectual challenge of understanding what has been holding people back, and of figuring out what is necessary to free them to make progress. In my years as a therapist, I have developed a profound sense of respect for people. I am often amazed by what people have been through, and am impressed by the efforts that we all make to cope with, and overcome, our difficulties.

I have learned that each person I have met is unique and has their own patterns of relating and being in the world. They have developed these patterns over their lifetime to help them get along psychologically, first in the family he or she grew up in and then in the larger world outside. Some patterns and behaviors developed earlier in life may no longer be effective and, in fact, may create problems in growing and living a fulfilling life. I view psychotherapy as a process where my patients and I are working together to gain greater insight and understanding of what is working and not working in their lives and possibly why. It is through this greater awareness and self knowledge which I feel allows people to be less defined by their family history and more able to be their authentic self.
