ABOUT ROBIN
A space to be
yourself
"In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?"
- Carl Rogers
Robin is the founder of Nest Family Counselling and works with individuals, couples and co-parents. She specializes in separation and divorce, relationship reconciliation, discernment counselling and blended families, helping clients navigate change, conflict and betrayal so they can move forward, together or apart.​
​​
Robin’s approach is strength-based and collaborative, with plenty of honesty and a little lightheartedness. She combines cognitive-behavioural strategies with narrative therapy, is trained in the Gottman Method (including affairs and trauma) and Emotion Focused Therapy, and has AFCC training in parenting plans and co-parenting conflict resolution.
​
Robin grew up in a farming community in rural Manitoba and settled in Alberta in 2013. She now lives and works in Sherwood Park, where she’s a wife, stepmom and proud community builder. Outside the office, you’ll find her on a creative project, reading through the winter or planning her next adventure.
