Internal Family Systems

Somatic Integration

Grief & Loss

"Rob is an incredibly compassionate listener and works from such a clear heart space. It is so easy to dive deep into the nitty gritty ugly parts of self that often get overlooked or avoided. He's intuitive, wise and always asks the right questions for me to go to the root of what's blocked within me."


I highly recommend his sessions to anyone looking for a different way to do therapy other than conventional talk therapy. It's body- based and he always goes at a safe pace that nourishes my nervous system and integrates the work with compassion and ease."  ~ Samaya
