Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

Therapist

Virtual • Benton, LA


Hi, I'm Rob. I believe therapy works best when you feel accepted, understood, and free to be yourself. I strive to meet people where they are and create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief and loss, stress, anger, ADHD, and men's issues. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Whether you're struggling with addiction, coping with loss, dealing with difficult emotions, or trying to make sense of life's challenges, you don't have to do it alone. With more than two decades of experience, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical tools that support long-term emotional health and personal growth. For clients who request it, I also incorporate Christian counseling into our work together.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

Many of the people I work with carry experiences they've never felt fully safe putting into words — survivors of trauma and domestic violence, and clients caught in emotional or relationship patterns that feel impossible to shake. Some come in saying they "should be over this by now." Others describe feeling braced all the time, or unsure why the same painful patterns keep showing up. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to explain it perfectly to be understood.
