The Miracle of the Present Moment
Present moment awareness lies at the heart of my work at Deep Dive Psychotherapy and Mindfulness. I firmly believe that meaningful change can occur right here, right now, in this very moment. This is where we have the opportunity to grow and evolve. I guide individuals and families by fostering present moment awareness, helping them understand the patterns in their lives, and developing healthy strategies to navigate the complexities of life. My approach combines active and directive therapy with a compassionate listening ear, creating a supportive environment for personal growth and healing.
All services conveniently offered via telehealth.

What Clients Say
“The Mindfulness Relationship class improved my relationships immensely. I have noticed by focusing on compassion, core beliefs and making sure I have met the criteria for mindful speaking, I have noticed that some difficult interactions that used to takes weeks to resolve have taken days instead. And other difficult interactions that used to take days to resolve have been shorted to hours. I appreciate all research and efforts that went into making such a great class that can relieve suffering by improving relationships.”
“I just want to say that thanks to this class I been able to accept of what is and not what I want, I’m able to be more at peace and function in society. I honestly don’t know how I would manage if I didn’t have Robin’s teachings. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to attend, it has had a huge impact on my life.”
“The Relational Mindfulness had significant impacts on my wellbeing. It helped tame my ‘moments of reactivity’, speak mindfully and be at peace with my relationships. If there was a jigsaw puzzle for living a joyful life, this course would supply many of the pieces.”
“Our whole family is even remembering, sometimes, to pause for a mindful moment when things start to get stressed or heated some- times my kids remind me to do it”
“Robins coaching made my whole life integrated, clear of purpose, genuine and centered.”
“Robin is a passionate, authentic, and wise guide in learning mindfulness. Her individual mindfulness coaching transformed my life.”
“The Relational Mindfulness course coincided with one of the most challenging times in my career where I was faced with a difficult interpersonal situation and was on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. This was a transformative experience that provided me with the tools to manage my overwhelming emotions and increased my resilience at a critical time in my life and I am forever grateful for that. Robin created a safe space for us to confront our emotions without judgment and coached us to take our mindful practice into the relational sphere. I am hoping that more people give mindfulness a try as we all need to be more empathetic and compassionate towards fellow colleagues now more than ever!”
“Wow! Just wow. Working with Robin individually along with the classes caused a radical transformation in my whole life. I relate to everything differently, and my productivity, happiness, and relationships have improved across the board”
“I’ve seen many helpful and kind therapists in my life, but I’ve never worked with a therapist like Robin. She challenges me and supports me; coaches me and validates me; I took the MBSR class along with my therapy journey and within a few months my depression and anxiety were so much improved I only needed to come once a month!"
"We came to Robin at the end of our hope. Our relationship could not have continued with the conflict and misery we were in. Because we were so desperate, we followed every instruction, including the Relational Dharma class. Now, with our ability to self-regulate, use wise and loving speech, with mindfulness as our foundation, our relationship is thriving like never before!"
