Are you or a loved one struggling with the inability to live a happy, meaningful life?
This kind of confusion, pain and suffering can plague many areas of your life. The journey of living is never without trials and tribulations. It is moving through these difficult times with courage and openness that provides opportunities to repair and heal, and to change and grow. Perhaps the unhealed wounds of the past are preventing a full and meaningful relationship. Or maybe, modern day stressors are holding you back and getting in your way of moving forward. Or it might be you have turned to drugs or alcohol to numb yourself from the pain. Or it could be that a fresh perspective is needed to achieve new life goals. We all have challenges to face — some we will see coming and others will arrive out of left field. Working through these struggles often serves the purpose of strengthening us for living the life we want and deserve.
Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying where you do not belong. ~Mandy Hale
Have you considered finding the courage and Dedication to heal, to change and to grow?
Therapy can help you find this courage. Exploring your struggles and finding new, healthy avenues for healing can transform your life. You do not need to stay stuck in a place that is not serving your highest good or your best self. As your therapist, I will be a strong ally in your personal growth journey. Whether it’s working on your recovery from substance abuse, healing from trauma, concentrating on interpersonal relationships, dealing with family matters, marriage concerns or every day irritations, I will help guide you to a new viewpoint in order to find solutions that you may have never considered possible. It can be hard work and takes courage, willingness and dedication to change…but it is worth it. Healing is absolutely possible and you deserve to live a whole and happy life with dignity, and grace.
Healing doesn’t’ mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls your life. ~AshayDubley
Hi, I Am Robin
I am a Licensed Marital and Family therapist with a Specialization in Clinical Art Therapy. For over 20 years, I have enjoyed living, working and playing throughout the Beach Cities. Because of my years here in the South Bay, I have a unique understanding of the specific challenges that we face in our community by the sea.
Because of my own experiences, I have been inspired to help you help yourself. I will be dedicated to providing you with a compassionate, non-judgmental space for exploring your needs and creating your own healing, happiness and well-being.
My Approach
In my collaborative approach to the therapeutic process, our goals will be for you to feel heard, validated and respected. We will utilize a variety of techniques, including talk therapy and art therapy. Because each individual, situation and circumstance is unique, together we will customize a treatment plan that meets your particular needs. I will be honest, direct and fair as we undertake this journey of self-discovery in the service of insight, healing, transformation and growth.
