The memories of these traumatic experiences interrupt their daily lives, and their trauma manifests into anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress reactions in the body, or problems feeling connected to others.

Client are educated on different methods of regulating their emotions, body sensations, and ways of feeling safe and close to others. EMDR Intensives are offered in person and online.

Robin practices an evidence-based therapy modality called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. In EMDR, clients process disturbing images to place those experiences in the past, so they can avoid experiencing trauma symptoms in the present.

Robin then takes them through somatic therapy, building a stronger connection between mind and body.

She empowers adult clients to feel courageous, learn healthy boundaries, and to take control over their trauma so they can live peaceful, happy lives.
