Hey there! My name is Rob, and I am a counseling intern at Paddock Counseling. I am currently pursuing a Master of Social Work from University of Michigan’s School of Social Work. I expect to graduate in the summer of 2027. As an intern, I look forward to learning how to better serve my community through empathy, active listening, and service. I am currently transitioning careers at the moment, coming from 5+ years of corporate HR work. I have always had a passion for working with individuals, and decided to pursue my life long passion to become a therapist.  

My goal as a therapist is to create an environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring the challenges in their lives, things they’d like to change, and skills that they can improve on. I intend to do that through collaboration and curiosity. Most importantly, I intend to create a meaningful relationship between myself and my clients to discuss things openly, freely, and without judgement.

My personal philosophy is that with the proper support, all people have the capacity for resilience and healing. I hope I can be a part of that process in working with you.
