Robert began his counseling career working with a trauma-specialized counseling practice, where he developed skills through providing compassionate care for a broad range of clients from every walk of life. He practices counseling through utilizing an eclectic blend of therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. His experience working with clients who have experienced trauma is aided by training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention highly effective in allowing clients to process beliefs and emotions that become "stuck" with us even many years after a traumatic event. 

 

Robert is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in the state of North Carolina (license #A18510). He received a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in 2022. 

 

As a husband and a father, Robert has a passion for serving men, women, and teens 16+  who need someone to walk alongside them when they are on a particularly difficult path. His clinical experience involves serving clients who experience a wide range of issues, such as but not limited to: Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Anger, Acute Stress Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Physical and/or Sexual Abuse, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Relationship Issues. 

 

Robert's methodology in counseling is both holistic and systemic, integrating aspects of each unique client's emotional, relational, physical, mental and spiritual state in his approach. He believes strongly that each client has their own unique goals for growth and healthy change, and he's happy to help navigate towards and achieve those goals. As a counselor, Robert is earnest and compassionate, knowing that everyone is more than the sum of their worst moments in life. He believes in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, and is willing to get "in the weeds" with each of his clients and journey with them to where they need to be. 

 

When he's not counseling, Robert can be found at the park, church, or at a cafe, enjoying pour-over coffee, learning acoustic guitar, or playing tabletop games with friends and family.
