Meet Rob

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…

  • Sales, finances, and entrepreneurship, having worked in these fields before transitioning into social work

  • Helping ambitious professionals, particularly men aged 25 to 45 in white-collar roles like software developers or engineers, navigate work-related stress and career anxiety.

  • The shifting career landscape, especially fears about the impact of AI, and pivoting toward being AI resilient 

  • How to apply the Chaos Theory of Careers (CTC) to help clients understand that career paths are not linear and that titles and their meanings are changing rapidly

  • Guiding clients to shift their mindset from relying on job security and full-time employment to embracing a more flexible, complex career landscape where the focus is on being "hirable".

  • Action-oriented, helping them focus on positioning themselves for success.

Booking FAQ

Does Rob offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Rob is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
